Brandt and Kamada were the earlier scorers in what was a pulsating game. Edin Terzic's side go third, Eintracht are in fifth ahead of Sunday's games.

SGE PENALTY APPEAL
Kobel jumps for a high ball and lands on Götze and there are appeals for a penalty. Nothing doing says the ref. Lindstrom is booked for protesting.

EINTRACHT RAMPAGE
Eintracht should be level. Süle slips up at the back and Kolo Muani fires at goal only for Kobel to save. Götze's following up is cleared off the line by Schlotterbeck. Moments later, Lindstrom pounces on another BVB mistake before seeings his effort beaten wide by Kobel.

BRILLIANT BELLINGHAM
He's done it again! Fresh from scoring a double against Stuttgart Bellingham has added another here to give BVB the lead. Moumoko plays the England international in. It looks as though he might lose his footing, but Bellingham sticks his left on it at just the right moment to fire past Trapp.

NO WAY THROUGH
Adeyemi twists and turns out on the right before looking to make inroads into the Eintracht area. The door is soon shut on the BVB man, however, and Eintracht begin building from the back.
