The cheers at Eintracht Frankfurt over the next step towards Champions League failed, the fans were largely silent, and the stadium line did not use the otherwise booming loud music. It was not the 3: 1 (2: 0) against Holstein Kiel, the focus, but the concern for seriously injured spectators.
A fan from the middle rank had fallen on a group of spectators in the lower rank. Two people were injured so badly that they had to go to the hospital. Two more suffered injuries, a spokesman for the SGE said. Out of respect for the spectator, it remained largely quiet – from a sporting point of view, the Frankfurters had every reason to be happy.
The SGE expanded its lead over the pursuer RB Leipzig to five points. In fifth place – the first place, which is not enough for the premier class – the cushion is even six points. Kiel, on the other hand, is also the bottom of the table after the 22nd matchday. Frankfurt ended his draw series by goals by Hugo Larsson (18th), Tuta (37th) and Youngster Can Uzun (60th), Dähne parried a penalty of Hugo Ekitiké (45., according to video evidence). Kiel shortened by Porath (73.).
Victories for Hoffenheim and Mainz
Previously, TSG Hoffenheim celebrated an important victory in the fight for staying class. The TSG won 3: 1 (2: 1) in the Weser Stadium near Werder Bremen and thus appeared in 14th place to FC St. Pauli. Anton Stach (28th minute), Tom Bischof (44th) and winter access Gift Orban (63.) provided the Hoffenheim success after the last two Bundesliga defeats.
Bremen took the lead in the seventh minute by an own goal of guest defender Stanley Nsobi. Werder stays tenth due to the defeat, but now has at least five points behind a European Cupplatz.
The 1. FSV Mainz 05, on the other hand, jumped to a European Cupplatz thanks to an away win. At 2-0 (1-0) in Heidenheim, Jonathan Burkardt (29th minute) and Nelson Weiper (49th) met for the guests who climbed to sixth in the table. The 1. FC Heidenheim on Relegationplatz 16 already has seven points behind the first non -relegation place.
