GAME OVER
A top game ends all square, which is probably the right result on balance. Burkardt's first goal of the season put Mainz ahead in the first half before Kolo Muani netted his fifth goal of the campaign to equalise for Frankfurt - who momentarily go third in the standings - in the second half.

ALMOST GÖTZE
Kolo Muani plays one into the feet of Mario Götze and for a split second it looks as though the Eintracht man is going to net the winning goal. Mainz move quickly to clear, however,

BARREIRO EFFORT
Barreiro batters one off target from inside the area. Both teams are going for this as we head into the final ten minutes. There could ytt be a winner here.

GÖTZE GREATNESS
Zentner races off his line (not for the first time in this game) to try and clear from Kolo Muani. Bad move. Mainz lose possession and the ball is played to Götze, who goes for a worldie, lobbed finish as Zentner scurries back. The keeper just makes it in time to save.

FRANKFURT ON TERMS
It's that man again! Kolo Muani receives a sublime, flicked through pass from Götze and holds off the Mainz defender as he advances around Zentner. The France forward fires high into the net and Eintracht are level.

MAINZ LET OFF
Kamada twists and turns on the left and gets his cross in. Mainz look to clear but Ebimbe takes the ball out from a cluster of defenders and lashes wide. Ebimbe really should have scored there.

CHANCES BOTH ENDS
Trapp comes to Eintracht's rescue once more, the Qatar-bound goalkeeper saving well with his legs from Barreiro. At the other end, Kolo Muani almost creates an opening as he jinks down the left, beats his man and crosses into the centre. There was nobody there for Eintracht.

EINTRACHT OPEN
Mainz work the ball right to Widmer who lashes way off target. The visitors look far too open at the back at the start of this second half.

NO PENALTY
For a moment, it seems as though Eintracht have a penalty. Stefan Bell brings down the onrushing Kolo Muani, but after a review, the foul is adjudged to have taken place outside the box. Lindstrom hits the wall with the resulting set piece.

MAINZ LEAD
Amazing scenes. Burkardt fires Mainz into the lead but only after some sensational goalkeeping from Kevin Trapp. The custodian first denied Burkardt's header with a two-handed, point blank save from a corner. Onisiwo battered the rebound back at goal only for Trapp to save again. The loose ball was then headed back into Burkardt who converted from close range.

MAINZ ESCAPE
Zentner makes a mess of a back pass, the goalkeeper trying to clear first time but giving possession straight to Eintracht. The ball is eventually fed to Kolo Muani who slams into the net. To Zentner's relief, there is an offside flag up.

WASTEFUL LINDSTROM
Lindstrom goes on the longest run, barrelling past Mainz defenders and going face to face with Zentner. The Danish international takes way too long over his shot, however, and Mainz manage to clear after the forward is muscled out of the way.

MAINZ ATTACKING
Mainz should probably be in front. First, Barreiro and Jonathan Burkardt combine to draw a good save from Trapp. From the resulting corner, Kohr slams a super long-distance shot inches wide of the upright.

BARREIRO TAKES A HIT
Leandro Barreiro is down in a heap inside the Eintracht area having taken a wallop from behind from
Kristijan Jakic. Both players had their eye on the ball as it looped into the box. Barreiro eventually gets back to his feet and the game can continue.

KAMADA OFF TARGET
Free kick Eintracht, slighty to the right and at a distance from goal. Kamada lines it up and assesses his options in the area. The Japan international tries a tricky one and shoots for the near post. He misses by a mile, much to the delight of the home fans.

EINTRACHT'S SWEET WIN
"COOL CHARACTERS"
Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has every right to be thrilled with his players for their achievements on the domestic front and in Europe of late. "If the lads weren’t such cool characters, there wouldn’t be such a good atmosphere in the dressing room," the coach said. "When we sign players, we make sure they’re good lads who put the success of the team above all else."
"SOMETHING TO PROVE"
Here's what home coach Bo Svensson had to say about today's encounter: "The pressure is there: we have to perform because we don’t want to have that feeling again like we had sitting in the dressing room after the [defeat] against Schalke. We’ve got something to prove, and that’s important to me."
EAGLES' LOFTY GOAL
By contrast, Eintracht have been flying. Should they add one more victory to a run that has seen them win four of their last five games, Die Adler could end up in second place in the standings at the end of Matchday 15, results from other games pending.
