Eintracht Frankfurt seems to have squandered the chance of an international starting place in the final meters of the Bundesliga season. At Borussia Dortmund there were also no points in the 2:3 (1:2) defeat on matchday 33, it was the fourth game without a win in a row. Can Uzun’s early lead (2nd minute) wasn’t enough for Eintracht, Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy (42nd) and Nico Schlotterbeck (45th+1) turned the game around before the break. 18-year-old Samuele Inacio (72′) secured the preliminary decision with his first Bundesliga goal, while substitute Jonathan Burkardt’s goal (87′) only brought excitement for a short time. Eintracht would have to push SC Freiburg out of seventh place in order to at least be able to start in the Conference League. However, if they are one point behind, all chances could be over on Sunday if Freiburg wins at Hamburger SV. BVB, which had also recently lost its footing, secured the runner-up spot with a win on the penultimate matchday.

The ex-Dortmunder repaid the trust by taking the lead early on. In the second minute of the game he was surrounded by several opponents in the Dortmund penalty area, but with luck and skill he retained the ball and laid it off for Uzun. The playmaker hit the right corner precisely. “We didn’t defend well, but the team’s reaction was very good,” said BVB coach Niko Kovac. Dortmund only seemed impressed for a short time, but found their way into the game after a quarter of an hour. Then Julian Brandt, who was called up as captain for BVB in his last home game, provided momentum. His precise cross gave Samuele Inacio a huge chance, but he headed too centrally and Michael Zetterer made a great save. In the 25th minute, Zetterer had to parry two shots, one from Brandt and one from Jobe Bellingham. It was Brandt who initiated the equalizer. He stole the ball in midfield from Arthur Theate, who was sleepy in this situation, played it to Marcel Sabitzer, who went to Julian Ryerson – and Guirassy completed his cross in a sophisticated way into the left corner. Schlotterbeck followed up in stoppage time in the first half. He initiated the attack himself, got the ball back to Maximilian Beier via Jobe Bellingham and scored into the right corner. It won’t matter to him that his shot was anything but technically clean. In the second half, BVB controlled the action, Frankfurt couldn’t find any resources. Ryerson had the third goal on his feet, but was denied by Zetterer from a tight angle. At 3-1, Bellingham and Beier were once again the pioneers, Inacio completed the artistic feat. In the 88th minute, BVB coach Kovac also gave Niklas Süle some emotional minutes; the former national player will end his career after the season. But Eintracht didn’t just want to be a nice party guest. The jokers Ansgar Knauff as the preparer and Burkardt as the finisher once again provided excitement. However, Eintracht did not have another chance to score. Starting lineups: Kobel – Reggiani, Anton, N.
