Walldorf (dpa / lhe) - Eintracht Frankfurt has won its last friendly before the start of the season. Jesper Lindström (1st minute), Filip Kostic (11th), Rafael Borré (23rd), Kristijan Jakic (83rd) and Lucas Alario ( 86.) for the Bundesliga soccer team. "It was a successful performance. I saw a lot that I liked, but also a lot that wasn't so good. Overall, we're on the right track and ready," said Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner after the final whistle at the pay -TV channel Sky.
Especially in the first half hour, Eintracht was very enthusiastic in front of 2500 spectators and created numerous opportunities. After the break, the Europa League winners found it very difficult against the committed hosts and no longer played dominantly. That was also due to the complete change at half-time.
A balanced game developed. Chances of harmony were scarce. Rather, the southwest regional league team came dangerously in front of Jens Grahl's goal. In addition, the underdog attacked the favorites much earlier and thus stopped the guests' game. Frankfurt lost numerous duels and played offensively far too imprecisely.
On Monday evening (8.45 p.m. / Sky / ARD) Frankfurt will play in the first round of the DFB Cup at second division promoted 1. FC Magdeburg. "The anticipation is huge. We finally want to compete in competitive games," said Glasner.
