Full-time: Frankfurt 2-2 Augsburg

After a deadlocked first half, the match exploded with a flurry of goals not long after the break. Frankfurt were on the front foot after Ekitiké bagged the opener, but some unfortunate keeping from Trapp saw Tietz and Essende snatch the lead before substitute Uzun rescued a point with a superb strike. The Eagles will be disappointed with the dropped points as they look to remain in second place, while Augsburg won't run their noses up at hte point that sees them climb to provisional 13th.

Latching onto a loose ball on the left-hand side of the area, the youngster fires an arrowing shot that deflects slightly off Tietz and into the top corner. Game on! Again!

Half-time: Frankfurt 0-0 Augsburg

The hosts started the match on the front foot, with top scorer Omar Marmoush looking dangerous, but the match settled into something of a midfield battle with neither side able to bring much danger. Knauff's effort late in the piece was the only shot on target, leaving both sides with plenty to do in the second term.

Ekitiké in the right place

The rangy Frenchman manages to get on the end of Chaïbi's lofted pass into the area but gets a bit too much on his header and the ball flies over the bar. In any case, the referee whistled for a foul on Ekitiké's marker so it wouldn't have counted even if it had beaten Labrović.

Three in a row?

Augsburg's penalty shoot-out DFB Cup win over Karlsruhe marked the first time they have notched back-to-back wins in competitive matches this season. Can they go one better and make it three in row today? It will take some doing, as the Fuggerstädter have scored only two goals and claimed one point on the road in the league this season.
camera-photo

Back on track?

Before the mid-week cup defeat, Frankfurt were on a run of nine matches unbeaten across all competitions (eight wins), and the second-placed Eagles will certainly go all out to get back to winning ways and keep the pressure on leaders Bayern, who are four points clear at the top.
