Football: Hütter missed victory in Bundesliga comeback for Eintracht

Trainer Adi Hütter has for his Bundesliga comeback Eintracht Frankfurt narrowly missed a win. The Hessians led in the opening round on Saturday Union Berlin Already 3:1, but had to settle for 3:3 after conceding a goal in the 92nd minute. Christian Ilzer lost with Hoffenheim 2:3 in Köln. The sensation of the day came from newcomers Elversberg with a 3-2 home win against Leverkusen. Leipzig won against Gladbach 3-1, Mainz – Paderborn ended 0-0.

Eintracht already looked like the winner after conceding a goal by Emmanuel Latte Lath (3rd) and a subsequent hat-trick from Younes Ebnoutalib (10th, 11th, 67th), but Union hit back. Leopold Querfeld, who was responsible for the home side’s second goal, headed home the score to 2-3 (79′) and provided Tim Skarke’s assist to make it 3-3 (92′).

Hoffenheim lost despite leading twice

Despite taking the lead twice through Adam Daghim (27′) and Ozan Kabak (67′), who were brought in from Salzburg, Ilzer’s Hoffenheim team had to return home from Cologne with a 2-3 defeat because Said El Mala (51′) and Thijs Dallinga (72′, 82′) scored. For the losers, Patrick Wimmer was replaced in the 71st minute.

His compatriot Nicholas Kristof was instrumental in ensuring that newly promoted Elversberg scored three points in its first ever upper house game. Lukas Petkov (8th), Cole Campbell (9th) and David Mokwa (46th) scored against Leverkusen, who were initially desolate, but they rose again with goals from Patrik Schick (77th) and Christian Kofane (91st). The fact that the Werkself didn’t get a point was also due to Kristof’s saves.

With Nicolas Seiwald thanks to Ridle Baku (25th), Antonio Nusa (49th) and Rocco Reitz (66th), the Leipzig team achieved a confident victory over Mönchengladbach. In Mainz, Phillipp Mwene played through, but his ÖFB teammate Stefan Posch only sat on the bench.
