Full-time: Frankfurt 2-2 Leipzig

Frankfurt secure sixth in a thriller that could have easily seen more than four goals. Marmoush and Ekitiké were brilliant throughout and will be looking to shine in Europe next season. It's a similar story for Leipzig, too, who again got to witness more Xavi Simons and Šeško magic to end the campaign on a high.

Elmas is taken down in the Frankfurt box but the referee isn't interested.

Game on! Ekitiké!

The jumbotron is back in place and the resulting free kick is cleared before Ekitiké meets the follow-up cross with his head and thumps it in off the post, that's a big goal!

Kick-off!

Half-time: Frankfurt 0-1 Leipzig

Frankfurt are a goal down but it's not for the want of trying for SGE. Ekitiké and Omar Marmoush have looked dangerous during an even first-half that was punctured by a Xavi Simons penalty. It's still all to play for at the Deutsche Bank Park.

Poor from Ekitiké

Ekitiké gets the ball outside the Leipzig box and has plenty of time to shape for a shot but slots it into Janis Blaswich's arms.

11'

What a chance!

Ekitiké fires a brilliant ball across the six-yard box and is absolutely livid to see Omar Marmoush fail to tap it in at the far post.

Danger!

Leipzig send a free-kick into the Frankfurt box and the home side make a mess of clearing the ball, but eventually get the job done.

First corner

Leipzig look dangerous on the counter and Loïs Openda opts to cross, but it's cleared for a corner.

An interesting match-up

The early stages are seeing Leipzig going all out for the press but so far Frankfurt are calmly playing their way around it.

We're underway!

Leipzig kick us off on the 34th and final matchday of the Bundesliga season.

Kick-off!

What's at stake

Leipzig are finishing fourth whatever happens today, but there is far more at stake for Frankfurt. Currently in sixth, SGE are still trying to hold off Hoffenheim today, as that spot could mean Champions League qualification if Dortmund win the European Cup this year.

More on those teams

Frankfurt make just one change with Buta in for Ebimbe. Rose shakes things up far more for Leipzig with four tweaks - Janis Blaswich starts over Gulácsi in goal, Xavi Simons comes back after a yellow card suspension for Baumgartner. Šeško and Elmas also come in with Yussuf Poulsen and Simakan making way.

Toppmöller ahead of Leipzig

"We want to do our homework and focus on ourselves. We have everything in our own hands when it comes to securing sixth place. We will see where that takes us. We are determined to win tomorrow, and we want to end the season in the best possible way."

Rose ahead of Frankfurt

"We can still complete the most successful season in the club's history, but we realised after qualifying for the Champions League that we sort of dropped off. Some of the lads are now facing an important European Championship, so we don't want to go beyond the limits. Nevertheless, tomorrow is an important game for the overall assessment and we want to get another win at the end."

What's at stake?

For Die Roten Bullen, fourth place and Champions League football in 2024/25 are already guaranteed. Eintracht may have a chance of entering European club football's elite competition if they can hold on to sixth, although that would require Borussia Dortmund lifting the Champions League trophy on 1 June.

Ansgar Knauff's early strike won the day for Eintracht when they visited Leipzig on Matchday 17 back in January.
