In from Bahoya
Knauff is barged over for a foul near the right touchline. Bahoya floats it deep towards the far post, but the referee spots foul play and blows his whistle for an Augsburg free-kick.

Nearly the instant impact!
A huge chance for Augsburg sees Tietz found on the edge of the box from a right-sided cross. The striker takes it first time, aiming for the bottom right corner, but Trapp gets down expertly to tip it round the post for a corner, which Augsburg don't manage to capitalise upon.

Tietz enters the fray
With five minutes of normal time remaining, can Tietz find a late winner for the Fuggerstädter?

Great stop from Dahmen
Bahoya takes the subsequent free-kick, floating a cross towards the back post. Tuta gets his head on it, but Dahmen pulls off a fantastic reaction save to deny him.
82'
Onyeka booked
The Augsburg midfielder is the latest to see yellow, this time for a foul on Knauff.

Manager cautioned
Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmöller goes into the book for over-passionate protests that Hugo Ekitiké's shirt had been pulled in an advanced position.

Ekitiké in behind!
The striker is sent through for a one-on-one with Dahmen on the right side of the Augsburg box, but not for the first time today, it's Dahmen who comes up trumps, stopping the Frenchman's low finish.

Another great clearance
Frankfurt produce another good move down the left. A cross comes in, looking for Kristensen at the far post, but Giannoulis comes across to make another goal-saving block for Augsburg! Brown takes the subsequent corner, but Frankfurt can't make anything of it.
73'
Matsima arriving
The subsequent free-kick is whipped in towards the back post from the right. Centre-back Matsima had got up from defence and wins the header, but his effort loops over the bar.
73'
First booking
Collins is the first player to see a yellow card. The Eintracht man is cautioned by the referee for a late challenge on Jensen.
70'
Goal gaping
The chances are coming thick and fast now. Ekitiké wins the ball back in the midfield and plays it onto Knauff. The winger drives forward, past Gouweleeuw and rounds Dahmen. He has an open net, but, off-balance, he can't put enough power on it, allowing Zesiger to recover and make the block to deny a certain goal. How is it still level?!
67'
Couldn't be much closer!
How has that stayed out? Berisha drives forward down the left for Augsburg. The substitute then cuts inside and curls an effort towards the far corner. Trapp is beaten, but his effort strikes the right post, rebounding to Jensen, who can't quite sort his feet out to finish into an open net. As such, the ball bounces off him and behind for a goal-kick.

Knauff!
Bahoya and Brown lead the counter-attack down the left for Frankfurt. The latter floats a deep cross towards the back post, where Knauff is waiting. The winger connects with the volley, but sends it just wide.
62'
Fresh legs
Jess Thorup finally goes to the bench, bringing on Jensen and Berisha for Kömür and Essende. Can the substitutes help their side find a breakthrough here?

Another change
The Eagles make their third substitution, in a seemingly like-for-like swap with Collins coming in for Theate.

Dahmen spills it
The game is picking up pace now. Ekitiké smashes an effort towards the near post forcing a good stop from Dahmen, but the goalkeeper spills it, and the attempted clearance deflects off Kristensen and onto the post. That was nearly calamitous for the hosts...
53'
Another chance for Essende
Another Wolf cross is deflected off Koch, but drops kindly to Essende inside the box. The forward smashes the ball towards the goal, but his effort flashes across the face and behind for a goal-kick.
51'
Knauff with Frankfurt's first effort
Theate's cross comes in from the left, finding Knauff in the middle. The winger seems a little surprised the ball made it to him, stabbing it goalwards with a hesitant boot, but it's on target and forces Dahmen to dive down well to his left to make the save. Better from Frankfurt.
48'
Uncharacteristic
Experienced defender Koch gives the ball away carelessly at the back for Eintracht. Claude-Maurice pounces on the loose ball, but his effort flies over the bar.
46'
Play resumes
We're back underway here. As expected, Dino Toppmöller makes changes at half-time, bringing on Knauff and Bahoya for Batshuayi and Chaïbi, as the Eagles look to offer more going forward than they did in the first half.

Half-time
43'
Waived away
Batshuayi drives at the heart of the Augsburg defence and takes a tumble at the edge of the box, but the referee correctly dismisses any protest for a free-kick. Augsburg waste no time to counter-attack, but Kömür's left-footed effort from the edge of the box is very wayward.
40'
No way through
Kömür is sent to the byline once again. The youngster cuts it back to Claude-Maurice, who tries to squeeze it past Trapp, but a combination of Eintracht's custodian and Theate manage to block the effort.

Composed Claude-Maurice
The Frenchman has escaped 80 per cent of the situations in which he's been under pressure so far here. Most recently, he cut in from the left touchline before curling an effort towards the top right corner, but his effort was high and wide.

Last-ditch!
Claude-Maurice is slipped in behind the Frankfurt backline with a great pass. It looks as if he'll have a one-on-one as he bears down on goal, but Koch recovers excellently, clearing him out with a perfectly-timed slide tackle. He had to get that right, otherwise he would've been sent off...

Offside!
The corner is taken short, before a chipped ball over the top finds Wolf in space near the byline. The German squares it to Gouweleeuw, who smashes it goalwards from inside the six-yard box, his effort rattling the crossbar after Trapp managed to get a fingertip on it. It wouldn't have counted anyway though, as Wolf was offside in the build-up.
23'
In from Wolf
Wolf has a great opportunity to find Essende with a killer pass into the box, but he misplaces the cross. The ball works it's way back to him, and the wing-back wins a corner.
20'
Whistled past the post
Essende brings a lofted through-ball down excellently in the left channel. Without much support, he opts to go alone, cutting inside and letting a low shot fly. His effort goes past Theate and through the legs of Koch, ending up narrowly wide of the right post and beyond the diving Trapp. That was the best chance so far...

Great footwork
Augsburg combine excellently down the right side, with Wolf, Jakić, and Kömür using triangles to great effect. Eventually, Kömür is sent into the box and the youngster dances through a few pairs of legs to reach the byline, but his blocked cross deflects back off him and goes behind for a goal-kick.
14'
Another corner
Batshuayi's attempt on the end of a Kristensen cross is blocked behind for a corner. Chaïbi takes again, looking for Ekitiké, who wins the initial header, but Gouweleeuw manages to clear the second ball.
10'
Too high
It's Kristensen who gives it away on left side of the edge of the box. Kömür dummies, allowing Zesiger to lay it off to Wolf at the edge of the box, whose first-time shot is over the bar.
8'
Sloppy
Skhiri gives it away at the back carelessly for Frankfurt. Essende pounces, but his through-ball for Claude-Maurice sends the Augsburg man too wide. The Frenchman tries to wriggle free to make room for a shot, but the chance dissipates.
5'
First corner
Chaïbi takes an out-swinger from the right, but it's headed clear from the front post by an Augsburg defender.
3'
How slick
That would've been one for the highlight reels had it gone in! Wolf does excellently down the right, taking a touch to flick it over his marker Brown. He moves it on to Claude-Maurice, whose low driven shot is held by Trapp.

More on that Augsburg side
For Jess Thorup, there are just the two changes to his Matchday 29 winning side. Kömür, fresh from scoring a 90th minute winner last time out, is rewarded with just his third senior start, whilst Zesiger returns to the backline. Jensen and Schlotterbeck take their places on the bench as a result.
More on that Frankfurt side
Dino Toppmöller makes four changes to his side which beat Heidenheim 3-0 last time out. Captain Trapp returns between the sticks, replacing the injured Santos. Larsson, Brown and Batshuayi also start, seeing Højlund, Bahoya and Uzun all drop to the bench.
