After the game: After the final whistle, things got hot on and off the pitch. The deciding factor was apparently a provocative cheer from the PAOK assistant coach in front of the Eintracht bench. Packs formed on the field. In the middle of it all was Kevin Trapp. He clashed with Meïté – both saw red! This means that the national goalkeeper will probably be suspended for at least the next game. In his 513th career game at club level, the 33-year-old received his fourth dismissal – the low point of an incredibly bitter European Cup evening for Eintracht Frankfurt.
“I saw a cluster of grapes in front of the players’ tunnel and looked at it calmly,” said Trapp on RTL: “Apparently there were strong provocations from PAOK. When I was there, I saw the coach come out of this cluster and gesture. Then I tell him to calm down. Then he says something in my direction, and then others said something in my direction. Then the referee gives me a red card – a scandal for me.”
Trapp explained that he was “insulted in English and Greek” following the bitter 1:2 (0:1) last-minute defeat. He simply replied that “everyone should calm down. PAOK players apologized for their staff’s behavior. They go to the referee and say I didn’t do anything. But the referee insists on his opinion, and I have very little understanding of that.”

Tsingaras) – Zivkovic, Murg (68. Konstantelias), Taison (77. Despodov) – Samatta (85. Brandon) Goals: 1:0 Zivkovic (28.), 1:1 Marmoush (68.), Koulierakis (90+2.)
Conclusion: The late goal is also a knockout from which the SGE can no longer recover. In the end there were two goals conceded from free kicks, which ensured that Eintracht didn’t take anything worth counting with them. This is particularly bitter because the Hessians had the game completely under control in the second half. However, offensively that was once once more not enough. Top-class scoring chances were in short supply. PAOK, on the other hand, were ruthlessly effective from set pieces and showed how easy scoring goals can be. The win puts the Greeks at the top of Group G.
Final whistle
Last minute goal shocks SGE
90+2. Goal for PAOK! That is impossible. Again it is a free kick that is taken sharply, this time from the left, into the middle. The SGE doesn’t get it sorted out and then Konstantinos Koulierakis suddenly finds himself in the right place. The ball jumps to his feet and he pushes the ball behind the line. Two goals conceded from set pieces will probably break Eintracht’s neck here.

90. Minute: There is five minutes of added time. So there would still be time for a lucky punch from Eintracht.
87. Minute: Suddenly it becomes dangerous once more in front of the SGE gate! Vieirinha hits a buttery-soft cross with the outside crack to two incoming Greeks, who then want to put the ball in the middle. Trapp can just prevent that, otherwise the goal would probably have been the result. Very important from the national goalkeeper!
82. Minute: Big chance for Eintracht Frankfurt! After a handball, Eintracht receives a free kick from around 20 meters to the left. Chaibi takes over and kicks a wonderful free kick that Kotarski can just manage to direct onto the crossbar. Bad luck for the Hessians. The corner following that also becomes dangerous. Pacho’s header goes over.
78. Minute: Ngankam tries it directly centrally from just behind the box. But his low shot is no problem for Kotarski in the Greek goal.

76. Minute: Goalscorer Marmoush leaves the pitch. The Egyptian once once more did a very good job in the center of the attack and was rewarded with the goal. Jessic Ngankam comes onto the field for him. The Greeks also change twice.
75. Minute: After the equalizer, Eintracht failed to take the momentum straight away and put pressure on the Greeks. Defensively, however, the SGE is completely secure and hardly allows anything to happen.
71. Minute: Can there be more for Eintracht now? After the redeeming equalizer, the Hessians will now definitely play for a win.
Eintracht once morest PAOK: Marmoush redeems the SGE
68th minute: GOOOOOOOOOOR for Eintracht Frankfurt! Marmoush steals the ball from Koulierakis during the build-up and runs alone towards the goal. There the Egyptian keeps his nerve and uncompromisingly nails the ball under the crossbar. The compensation you deserve!
65. Minute: Toppmöller just reacted and brought Ebimbe on for Hauge. The Norwegian’s surprising appointment to the starting line-up only paid off to a limited extent. Hauge repeatedly showed his class, but mightn’t make the difference.
63. Minute: Marmoush runs down a long ball from Pacho and finishes low from a tight angle, but Kotarski is able to parry. The subsequent corner also comes in dangerously. Tuta leaves a good opportunity.
61. Minute: But the hosts are doing really well at the moment. Frankfurt starts early and doesn’t give them much space to build up the game. So the SGE cannot play its game properly. Knauff comes into the penalty area on the left, but then clearly misses the shot.
59. Minute: Hauge asserts himself strongly on the right and serves Marmoush in the middle, who puts it back on Chaibi, but once more the Greeks’ leg is in between. Eintracht doesn’t create any clear scoring chances here. So it will be difficult to come back once more.
57. Minute: The SGE carelessly loses the ball twice during the build-up. However, PAOK cannot capitalize on it. Nevertheless, the Hessians have to be careful not to make too many simple mistakes here.
53. Minute: So far, no team has been dangerous in front of the goal in the second half. PAOK seems satisfied with the lead, Eintracht have to come up with something.
49. Minute: PAOK now has a lot of the ball in their own half, but doesn’t know what to do with it. Frankfurt stands tall and tries to disrupt early in the build-up.
46. Minute: It goes on. The SGE has to come up with something particularly offensive if it wants to take something away from this. Buta comes on for Nkounkou.
And then it’s half time. Eintracht Frankfurt is down 0-1 once morest PAOK Saloniki. A direct free kick from Zivkovic has made the difference here so far. There are 45 minutes left to turn the result.

45. Minute: Next finish from Larsson from the second row. His shot from half left also goes over. The Hessians keep trying to get shots, but they don’t really pose a threat in front of the goal in the last few minutes.
43. Minute: Nkounkou clears Taison to stop the Greeks’ counterattack. The Frenchman rightly sees yellow.
40. Minute: Again Pacho delivers an outstanding pass behind the chain. However, Chaibi cannot process the ball properly. There was more in it! On the other side, Ozdoev gets the ball on the right corner of the penalty area and misses a few meters.
37. Minute: Shots are blocked twice, first by Marmoush and then by Larsson. The ball lands at Skhiri, who takes heart from around 20 meters and checks Kotarski. The Greek keeper makes a save worth seeing.
34 Minute: Bad luck for the Hessians. Pacho finds Marmoush behind the chain with a great chip ball. The Egyptian heads heavily towards Skhiri, who has moved up. However, its conclusion then hits Marmoush, who is lying on the ground.
32. Minute: The people of Frankfurt have to gather themselves now. The goal came almost out of nowhere.
PAOK Saloniki once morest Eintracht Frankfurt: Free kick shocks Eintracht
28. Minute: PAOK leads! After Nkounkou fouls Murg, the hosts receive a free kick from the right side just outside the penalty area. Zivkovic circles the ball dangerously into the penalty area, where no one touches the ball anymore and the ball hits the far corner. Cold shower for the Hessians.
24. Minute: Eintracht tries to gain security through possession of the ball. The ball has been running quite well in the Frankfurt ranks so far. However, the last pass behind the chain is not yet quite successful.
19. Minute: Strange situation. Marmoush hits the Saloniki goal, but referee Simone Sozza had previously ruled a foul. Marmoush had accidentally hit Vieirinha in the face. The whistle is fine.

16. Minute: Almost the lead for PAOK! Hauge loses the ball in the opponent’s box and then the hosts quickly move forward. Samatta is served at the right moment by Taison in the penalty area and pushes the ball through Trapp’s legs from the left. But Eintracht is right to complain. The goalscorer Koch was clearly hit on the foot in the running duel. Ultimately it is minimally off. Good luck for unity.
12. Minute: There was more to it. Eintracht wins the ball on the halfway line, but then Chaibi shoots too hastily from around 20 meters. The shot is not a problem for Kotarski.
10. Minute: Now the hosts come in front of the goal for the first time. Captain Vieirinha takes a cross directly, but Trapp doesn’t have to intervene.
7. Minute: First good chance for Frankfurt! Knauff moves from the right towards the penalty area. Marmoush passes the ball on to Chaibi, who crosses the ball to Nkounko on the other side. The Frenchman’s direct shot goes just wide.
4. Minute: In the first few minutes both teams feel their way into the game. As expected, the Hessians have more possession of the ball, Saloniki starts relatively high.
1. Minute: Eintracht plays all in black and has offense.
Kick-off!
Update, 20:57: The players come onto the lawn. In just a few minutes we’ll start in the cauldron of Thessaloniki. The atmosphere is great even before kick-off. Eintracht has to be prepared for a lot.
Update, 8:29 p.m.: Tension is rising in Thessaloniki. In around half an hour, Eintracht wants to get the Conference League off to a perfect start with their second win in their second game.
Eintracht once morest PAOK Saloniki: Toppmöller surprises with Götze replacement
Update, 7:48 p.m.: The Eintracht Frankfurt lineup is here! The biggest surprise in the starting line-up is Jens Petter Hauge. The Norwegian and Fares Chaibi probably form the duo behind Omar Marmoush at the top. Let’s see whether there is more offensive in this constellation than last time. On the wings, Toppmöller relies on Ansgar Knauff and new signing Niels Nkounkou. Ellyes Skhiri and Hugo Larsson will be in charge at the headquarters.
First report: Thessaloniki/Frankfurt – After the successful start to the UEFA Europa Conference League a good two weeks ago once morest Aberdeen, Eintracht Frankfurt wants to follow up on Thursday evening away once morest Saloniki and pick up the next three points. The Hessians are the clear favorites, but the Greeks should not be underestimated at home.

Coach Dino Toppmöller also knows this. “A hot dance and an interesting encounter awaits us. But we go into the game with the aim of winning it,” said the Eintracht coach on Wednesday evening following arriving in Greece. For the 42-year-old, the Greeks are the strongest opponents in the group. “We expect an aggressive and strong opponent with a good crowd behind them. It’s an important game because we’re facing the team that will probably compete with us for first place,” said Toppmöller.
He has to do without the injured captain Sebastian Rode and Mario Götze. The 2014 world champion did not make the trip because of the impending birth of his child. “Mario spoke to me during training and explained the background to me. There was no question of granting his wish,” said Toppmöller regarding Götze’s short-term absence.

Frankfurt is hoping for more offensive power once morest Saloniki
Eintracht should finally get things going, especially on the offensive. In the Bundesliga, Frankfurt have the team with the weakest attack so far with just four goals – together with FSV Mainz 05 and 1. FC Köln, who are in the relegation places. “We know that we don’t score enough goals,” said goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.
According to Toppmöller, all his offensive forces need is the infamous can opener. “Once one of the attacking players breaks the knot, then their self-confidence and self-image increases in such situations. We just have to keep going – and that’s what we will do,” said the Eintracht coach. At the same time, the trainer also defends his players once morest emerging criticism. “I stand up for our offensive players. They are young players who have to take responsibility and work very hard every day.”
Eintracht warned once morest strong Greeks at home
Despite the problems in the Frankfurt offensive, a victory for the Adlerträger is firmly planned. “We want to put our stamp on the game,” said Toppmöller, formulating the goal. And Trapp reiterated: “We are anything but unsettled.”
However, Saloniki is considered dangerous, especially in the home Toumba Stadium. It is not uncommon for a sea of fire from Bengalos to occur in the Greek homeland. In the league, PAOK is currently in second place behind Olympiakos Piraeus and the Greeks were also successful in their first group game with a 3-2 win once morest Helsinki. (dpa/LuHa)
