Equation changed
Scoring has finally ended Frankfurt's constant barrage of pressure, with Gladbach becoming bolder now. Hofmann goes down under a challenge from Alidou in the box, but no spot kick is awarded.
83'
Frankfurt score - finally!
Just when it looked like they might end up goalless, Frankfurt get on the scoresheet with their 15th shot of the game! Kolo Muani receives a clever cut-back from Alidou and slips a tidy finish under Omlin.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Gladbach goal disallowed
Thuram's strike was ruled out for a foul from Bensebaini from a corner.

The chances have been there
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

How close was that?
Incredible stuff! Kolo Muani rattles the post from Buta's great ball across, then Ebimbe's effort on the rebound is denied by Omlin with the keeper sprawled on the ground!

Kolo Muani again
The chances are coming even faster now. Buta turns it inside to Kolo Muani, who squeezes a shot in that is booted clear.
65'
Ebimbe tipped over
The Frankfurt sub smashes a drive from 20 metres out that Omlin does well to clear over his bar. Kolo Muani hits an acrobatic effort off-target from the resulting corner. Frankfurt are testing the limits of the Gladbach defence now...

Buta across
Another testing Frankfurt attack sees the ball passed around the edge of the box and to Buta on the right, whose ball in is cleared behind by Bensebaini before Aaronson has a chance to pounce at the near post.
61'
Just over!
A Gladbach defender almost chips their own goalkeeper for the second time tonight. Kolo Muani spins and flicks the ball behind nicely and Bensebaini lofts it just over his own bar in attempting to clear.
58'
Frankfurt pushing
The hosts are penning Gladbach back now. The ball breaks to Buta on the right who tries to dart into the box but runs the ball out of play for a goal kick.

Aaronson on
The young American makes his second appearance for Frankfurt in one of two changes for the hosts.

Thuram in space
The French striker breaks free on the right now. Nothing comes of his ball across, but it shows a risk Frankfurt have - the more they push for an equaliser, the more they might leave space at the back for a Gladbach side very capable of exploiting it.
52'
Lenz with a goal-saving challenge!
Great defending! Hofmann escapes behind the Frankfurt defence on a break, and does well to hold the ball up and lay it off to Neuhaus. Lenz slides in to tackle just before he can pull the trigger in front of Trapp.
51'
Elvedi header
The ball loops around in the Frankfurt box and Elvedi heads it on Trapp's target, but the home goalkeeper has no trouble denying the visiting defender.

Buta lifts it in
Frankfurt start the second half on the front foot. Buta lofts a cross in from the right but Omlin claims it well.

Three minutes of stoppage time indicated
The pace of the game is increasing with Frankfurt pushing - and Rode fires over at the end of a sharp attack.

Kolo Muani chance!
Frankfurt's best chance yet as Buta slots the ball in from the right. Kolo Muani is picked out perfectly just in front of goal but he scuffs his shot.
43'
Scally over
The American full-back has a go on a fine Gladbach attacking move, but hits well off-target.
41'
Rode whacks one
The Frankfurt midfielder chests the ball down on the edge of the box and smashes the ball off-target on the bounce.
37'
Elvedi over his own bar
A curious opportunity for Frankfurt as the ball bounces across the Gladbach goalmouth and Elvedi loops it up and just onto the roof of his own net with a miscued clearance.
35'
Buta v Kone
That the kind of ambition Frankfurt can do with. Buta tries to chase past Kone on the edge of the box, but the Gladbach man pokes it away for a corner.

Hofmann strikes Gladbach in front!

"A hard-fought match"

"Sense of anticipation"
Foals coach Daniel Farke will have very much enjoyed last weekend's win at Wolfsburg but he wouldn't be put on the spot as to where he feels his side may finish the current campaign. "We’re going into the final seven games with a real sense of anticipation," the tactician explained. "We will try and pick up as many points as we can, then we will see where we end up after Matchday 34."

Intrigue ahead
They may be through to the DFB Cup semi-finals, but Eintracht's stop-start run in the Bundesliga of late will be causing coach Oliver Glasner concerns. The Eagles' game against a Gladbach side unbeaten in their last three will thus make for an intriguing watch on Saturday.
