Eintracht have huffed and puffed in this half but Ekitiké sums up the visitors' efforts since the break by fluffing his lines when played in by Collins. Frankfurt are just not good enough today but they'll look to improve with European competition still very much on the cards.

Max's left-footed stinger has Bredlow scrambling to palm out. Solid save from the Stuttgart custodian.

Buta whips a dangerous ball into the centre which Ekitiké just can't reach, despite stretching for it.

Fares Chaibi gets to the end line and cuts back for Ekitiké, who is crowded out a yard from goal. That probably should have been 3-1.

Hasebe lands studs up on Stiller, who goes down in a heap. Yellow card for the Japanese player.

Jean-Matteo Bahoya has a problem and needs to come to the sideline for some treatment. The 18-year-old looks in some discomfort, but signals to the bench that he should be ok to go on.

Marmoush thwacks a shot at the target which goes through Bredlow's gloves and smacks the keeper right in the grill. Nübel's stand-in will need a little treatment but should be fine to continue.

The misery continues for Eintracht, who see Knauff booked for a tug back on Mittelstädt.

Nkounkou hacks Leweling down and the Eintracht player sees yellow.

Ito makes a last-ditch tackle on Marmoush and VfB keep hold of their 2-0 lead.

Frankfurt respond quickly with Marmoush chasing a long ball over the top. Stuttgart stand-in keeper Bredlow is off his line to hoof clear.
