Game, set and match!
Mbabu wins a corner as Augsburg go in search of a late leveller. Dahmen goes up for it, but Maier's delivery doesn't even clear the first post. It's headed out to Marmoush, who gets the better of Pedersen before racing in on the empty goal and stroking in Frankfurt's third goal of the half.

Frankfurt changes
Smolčić is on to shore up the Frankfurt defence. Teenaged striker Nacho Ferri also enters the fray for the final minute or so. Buta and Götze head off, after making a real difference in the second half. Eintracht might still be behind but for their efforts.

Chance not taken!
Augsburg are guilty of sending too many players forward as Knauff tears away on the break. He rounds Dahmen before squaring a pass into the six-yard box, but Mbabu is able to clear in front of Marmoush.
84'
Deflected!
Frankfurt don't deal with a ball into the area. Pfeiffer takes it on, turning and shooting over via a deflection. Maier's deep corner is picked off, though.
81'
Double change
Augsburg need a spark. Can the two-goal Sven Michel provide it? Tim Breithaupt's also on for Thorup's men.

Frankfurt probing
Götze finds the rampaging Buta in acres of space on the right. He asks the question with a nicely weighted cross, but the white shirts get in the way. It's been one-way traffic since the break...

Like-for-like change
Nkounkou, who has fallen out of favour in recent weeks, replaces Max at left-back.

Free header!
Chaïbi curls a free-kick towards the six-yard box. Dina Ebimbé is completely unmarked, but heads off target. He did not expect that to get through.
65'
Change in system
Thorup sacrifices a forward in Tietz for defender Pfeiffer. He needs to stem this tide, and fast.

Chance!
Chaïbi finds Koch in the Augsburg box, but the defender's header is straight at Dahmen. The Eagles have their tails up...
61'
What a turnaround!
The equaliser was all about the vision of Götze in the build-up. This one's about Marmoush. He turns away and strides forward before feeding Ekitiké. The PSG loanee looks to have overplayed it as Augsburg get a couple of blocks in, but he recovers possession, dances into a central position and sneaks a low finish into the bottom corner from 18 yards. Lovely way to open his Bundesliga account!
57'
First change
Augsburg's goalscorer gets the hook. Spaniard Pep Biel's on for his ninth Bundesliga appearance.

Frankfurt are level!
Eintracht move the ball quickly towards the right-hand flank. Dina Ebimbé and Buta exchange passes, and the cross is an absolute peach for Chaïbi to side-foot past Dahmen from close range. Game on!
49'
Off the training ground
Frankfurt hoodwink the Augsburg defence with a free-kick from the right. It's cut back across the area and dummied by Götze, but Buta's goal-bound strike is blocked.
46'
Under way again!
No changes at the break. If Augsburg can win by two clear goals, they'll move above Eintracht into sixth...

Added time
Sixty seconds left at the end of a competitive first half...
44'
Wide!
Dina Ebimbé crosses for Max, who opts to touch the ball back rather than take on the shot himself. It's awkward for Marmoush - he sends a controlled volley spinning past the upright.
40'
Slick play
Marmoush glides towards the edge of the area, before slipping a pass into the penalty box for Buta. He tries to take it in his stride, but a defender gets a crucial block in to stop the former Portugal youth international from going one-on-one with Dahmen.

Close!
Augsburg attack up the right again with Vargas. He lays it off into the path of Engels, whose back-post delivery has just too much on it for Tietz. An inch or two taller, and he'd have surely turned that in.
27'
Nice idea
Maier and Engels play a short-corner routine. The ball's eventually whipped in towards the near post, where Frankfurt loanee Jakić heads over, before the whistle sounds for an offside.
25'
Chance!
Dahmen spills a fierce hit from Marmoush that skipped up off the wet turf as he went to gather. Ekitiké tries to get on the end of the rebound, but Augsburg smuggle it clear.

Augsburg lead!
How big a goal could this be in the race for Europe? Max is robbed of possession wide on the Frankfurt left and the ball is played to Demirović, who spies the run of Vargas into the box. The Switzerland international wastes no time in shooting, lashing a venomous shot high into the net past Trapp.

Frankfurt almost in
Marmoush does well to turn and jink past a couple of players in midfield. He drives forward and tries to slot the ball into Dina Ebimbe's path, but Gouweleeuw intercepts brilliantly and prevents the Frankfurt midfielder going through one-on-one.
2'
No holds barred
The players have been thundering into tackles early on as they try to assert themselves on the game. Both teams still very much trying to settle into a rhythm.

Peeeeep!
After a moment’s silence for Eintracht and Germany legend Bernd Hölzenbein, who passed away earlier in the week, Matchday 30 gets under way.

Max comes in for Nkounkou on the left, with Skhiri, Götze, Dina Ebimbe and Ekitiké replacing Knauff, Hasebe, Larsson and Bahoya.

Eagles wary
