Freiburg pressing
Grifo stretches but just can't divert the ball past Trapp, who holds on with relief. Freiburg are beginning to increase the pressure on the hosts.
52'
Pacho booked
Willian Pacho is all over Ritsu Doan as both look to take control of the dropping ball. The ref shows Pacho a yellow card.
47'
Marmoush denied
Marmoush looks to quickly test Noah Atubolu's reflexes but the keeper is equal to the shot towards the corner, diving and palming the ball away from danger.

Big chances have been at a premium but the game has been entertaining nonetheless. Let's see if we have a breakthrough after the restart.

Dina Ebimbe booked
The Eintracht player lands his studs on Sidilla's ankle and that's a yellow card. The challenge warranted a VAR check for a possible red but after the ref consulted his screen it was adjudged there was no intent from Dina Ebimbe.

Höler opportunity
This is a big chance for Freiburg. Eintracht look to hurriedly clear Kübler's cut-back but the ball rolls straight to Lucas Höler. From a central position, the forward goes for accuracy but his shot is deflected wide. The subsequent corner comes to nothing.
35'
Ginter hurt
Ginter's in the air again and this time clatters into Dino Ebimbe. The Freiburg defender colapses in a heap and will need attention. Freiburg's No. 28 should be ok to continue for now.
33'
Ginter yellow
A rather dramatic deliberate handball from Ginter, who, diving, deflects the flighted pass off its intended course with a flailing arm. That's a booking for the Freiburg man.
30'
Skhiri sighter
The ball drops for Ellyes Skhiri and he tries to smash one first time with the outside of his boot. Skhiri doesn't quite catch that cleanly and the ball fizzes through to Atubolu.

Slow pace
Both sides are really taking their time in terms of build-up play here. Are Thursday's European outings weighing slightly on the legs of the players or is it a case of caution first? Perhaps more of the latter.

The lively Niels Nkounkou jinks and twists his way into the Freiburg area but he tries to do a little too much and the ball ends up in Atubolu's hands.

Chaibi has a pop
Fares Chaibi is impressing on his first Frankfurt start. The 20-year-old scoops a shot at the target but it's at a handy enough height for Noah Atubolu to deal with. Exciting start to the game.

No dice, Eintracht
Eintracht fans scream for a penalty. Marmoush feeds Buta, who races away only to fall in the area with Kübler in close contact. The ref waves play on.

Trapp saves Eagles
Oooh, Doan almost gives the visitors the lead after connecting with Sallai's centre. The Japan international's header is pushed out by Trapp. Solid save from the Frankfurt keeper.

Set-piece threat
Prior to today's game, Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller highlighted where he expects his team's opponents to threaten. "Freiburg are tough opponents with great individual quality," the tactician said. "It’s going to be a difficult game – we’re up against a very disciplined, hard-working side who are dangerous from set plays."
