The series of Eintracht Frankfurt holds: Also in the ninth competitive game in a row, the team remained undefeated. Against Schalke 04 Frankfurt won 3: 0 (0: 0) and is now fourth in the Bundesliga table. Schalke is 14th - and only one point ahead of the relegation place.
For a long time the spectators had to wait for the first highlights - and then two came in a row. At first Schalke's Embolo had a great opportunity to lead, but failed unhesitatingly to Eintracht keeper Kevin Trapp (61). In direct return Eintracht managed the lead. Luka Jovic scored half-way (61.).
Frankfurt sensed his chance for the next victory and again it was Jovic, who cheered the Eintracht fans. The game was preceded by a memorable play on Ante Rebic and Filip Kostic, who had initially run away from Benjamin Stambouli and then fitted in the middle. At the penalty spot Jovic was released - and transformed (73.).
Schalke did not give up yet: Weston McKennie prevailed on the right side and put back on Yevhen Konoplyanka, who deducted from the edge of the box - and hit only the bar (78). The match went well when Frankfurt's Sebastien Haller made it 3-0 in the margin after a corner (80 ').
