Eintracht Frankfurt has 40 units and is eight away from the podium, so it sees the possibility of repeat participation in the Champions League receding. The players led by Oliver Glasner were not able to convert the numerous chances they had in the first half, mainly with the French international Randal Kolo Muani (16, 39 and 45+1), who shot on all three out, or the shot from Daichi Kamada cleared by Frederik Rönnow.
