EAGLES SOAR
Game over at Borussia-Park where Eintracht Frankfurt did the damage in the first half with a Lindstrom double and an Abimbe header from a corner. The Eagles are up to fourth in the standings after this win and sit just three points behind leaders Union, who visit Bochum on Sunday. Gladbach are ninth.

ALIDOU OFFSIDE
Alidou draws a good save from Sippel but the Eintracht man was offside in the build-up; wouldn't have counted.

TOO FAR FOR THURAM
Hermann gets the ball out wide and lifts a high pass towards the far post. Thuram is there but it's one of those that hangs at just the wrong height for the forward and all he can do is nod the ball back across the face of goal. Eintracht clear.

SPIDER-CAM MALFUNCTION
A problem with spider-cam has us taking an unscheduled stop in this game. The players await patiently on the sidelines as the technicians do their thing.

Eintracht dilly-dally in possession at the back and Gladbach pounce with Plea swiping possession and feeding Thuram who fires under Trapp and in. Game on?

RODE GOOD TO GO
Rode was off the field receiving some treatment for a knock to the ankle but the 32-year-old rolls up his sock and runs back into the action. He's made of strong stuff, is Sebastian Rode.

EAGLES DENIED
Götze and Lindstrom combine to nearly make it four, the pair almost trying to walk it in at the end. The hosts survive this time and Götze throws his hands to the air in frustration.

ALL FRANKFURT AT THE BREAK
That's the half. Unsurprisingly, shrill whistles ring out among the home contingent. Eintracht look to have this wrapped up at the break against a Gladbach side who have been poorly organised defensively. A Lindstrom double either side of Dina Ebimbe's header have the visitors in the driving seat at Borussia-Park.

EINTRACHT CRUISE
Eintracht are cruising. The ball goes from one end to the other, where Kolo Muani rolls square for Lindstrom to smash home his second of the game.

LINDSTROM'S GHOST PASS
Suddenly Lindstrom is through on the left. He gains ground and eyes a cutback. The Danish forward lays a pass towards the penalty spot but there are no Eintracht players there and Gladbach can clear.

Jakic follows through on Plea and there's one more booking to add to this game's collection.

FRANKURT PULL AWAY
This is all too simple for Die Adler. A corner from the left by Lenz is headed into the corner of the goal by Dina Ebimbe. Doesn't get more straightforward.

AGAIN EINTRACHT
Eintracht are talking this game by the scruff of the neck now. The twinkle-toed Kolo Muani races upfield and frees Götze, whose shot is blocked.

KOLO MUANI CLOSE
Kolo Muani is played through. The France international pushes wide of Sippel and this looks a likely goal. Eintracht's No.9 pulls the trigger but is denied at the last by Sippel.

KAMADA CARDED
Kamada goes in, studs up, on Thuram. A no brainer for the ref there, Kamada goes into the notebook. This game has plenty of edge to it.

EINTRACHT IN FRONT
And there it is! Stindl gives up possession cheaply as Gladbach build. The visitors turn it over quickly with the ball arriving to Kolo Muani who plays in Lindstrom. There's plenty of work for the Dane to do as he races forward. Lindstrom gets a lucky break with the ball breaking back to him, and then another when his shot rolls in off Sippel.

Both teams getting slightly stuck in midfield at the moment but there is plenty of energy to this game in the opening minutes to suggest a breakthrough might not be that far off.
