Full-time: Augsburg 1-1 Frankfurt

The Eagles salvage a point in the second half away to Augsburg. Kalimuendo thought he had equalised midway through the half, only to be denied by the offside flag, but Dōan made sure minutes later, coming off the bench to bring his side level. Both sides had chances to win it at the end with Wolf, Kade and Ribeiro going close for the hosts, and Kristensen unlucky not to score for Die Adler, but a draw is a fair result.
Full-time
90'

So close for Kristensen

Frankfurt's No.13 aims a shot from the edge of the Augsburg box. His effort takes a massive deflection off Rieder and it looks as if it may loop in at the far post, but for a spectacular save from Dahmen.

Kade at the near post!

During an Augsburg counter, the scorer of the opener rides a challenge from an Eintracht defender before smashing an effort towards the near post. Again, however, Zetterer is there to beat the ball to safety.
90'

Wolf lashes it

Kade find Giannoulis, who lays it off to subsitute Wolf. The Augsburg man smashes an effort goalwards, forcing Zetterer into a good save to deny him.

88'

Riera going for broke

Eintracht make their final changes introducing top scorer Burkardt and top assist-provider Chaïbi for Uzun and Højlund. Can the pair produce some late drama here in Bavaria?
86'

Final changes

Baum makes his final substitutions of the afternoon, withdrawing Claude-Maurice and captain Gouweleeuw for Kömür and Matsima.
84'

Just wide

A huge chance for Augsburg! Rieder whips an inviting ball into the Frankfurt box from the left. It falls perfectly to the feet of Ribeiro, but the youngster can only steer his effort wide left of the goal.
82'

Kristensen on

The Eintracht man makes his first appearance since Matchday 22 for the Eagles after working his way back from injury. He replaces Amenda.
81'

Dahmen parries

Larsson hits a powerful shot towards the Augsburg goal from a tight angle. It's straight at Dahmen, but the keeper can only tip it behind for a corner.
79'

Uzun!

Frankfurt are bursting into life late on here. This time, it's Uzun who pulls the trigger, firing a low shot from the edge of the box towards the bottom left corner. Dahmen gets down well to make the save, although the custodian can only parry it.
78'

Across the face

Dōan gets in behind the Augsburg backline, but his right-footed effort towards the far corner is dragged wide.
76'

Overhit

Dōan tries to release Kalimuendo with a ball to the byline, but the Japanese international puts too much on it, sending it trickling behind for a goal-kick.
73'

Double substitution

Baum makes another two changes, introducing two former Eintracht players in the forms of Wolf and Jakić. They replace Fellhauer and Massengo.
70'

Massengo booked

The midfielder sees yellow for a late challenge on Højlund.
69'

Game opening up

It's been very end-to-end in the last few minutes. Most recently, Ribeiro had a chance to shoot 12 yards away from the Frankfurt goal, but his shot was blocked.
69'

Tails up

Knauff leads another counter-charge for Frankfurt down the left flank. However, his attempted cross is read well and cleared behind by Gouweleeuw.
camera-photo

Dōan drags Frankfurt back level!

A textbook counter from Frankfurt! Following an Augsburg attack, Knauff drives his side up the pitch. He picks out Uzun on the edge of the box, who moves the ball on for Dōan. The Japanese international takes a touch to move the ball onto his right foot before dispatching the ball past Dahmen off the inside of the left post. 1-1!

Off the bar

Uzun plays a high ball into the Augsburg penalty area. Kalimuendo tries to get underneath it but it drops onto the crossbar before bouncing behind for a goal-kick.

Shot blocked

From the left, Giannoulis finds Ribeiro in the middle, but the substitute's effort is well blocked.
60'

First change

Baum makes his first substitution of the afternoon, withdrawing Gregoritsch and replacing him with Ribeiro to provide a different angle in his side's attacking play.

Ruled out

Kalimuendo manages to burst in behind the Augsburg backline before slotting past Dahmen into the bottom left corner. However, his celebration is muted as the flag had been raised for offside. The VAR checks the incident, before confirming the assistant referee's original decision.

Woodwork!

Claude-Maurice swings a corner in from the left towards the near post. Gregoritsch attacks the header, flicking it on towards the far post, where it rattles the post before bouncing out, allowing Frankfurt to clear. So nearly a second for the hosts!
52'

So close!

Brown gets high up the left flank and flashes a low cross towards the front post. Kalimuendo needs only tap it past Dahmen, but a recovering Augsburg defender gets there first to clear it behind for a corner, upon which Eintracht don't manage to capitalise.
48'

Flashed wide

Uzun is found on the edge of the Augsburg box. He shifts the ball from his right foot onto his left, before bending a shot towards the top left corner. He slips at the crucial moment, however, sending it flying wide of the mark.
47'

Immediate booking

Dōan arrives in late to a challenge and is shown a yellow card. That's his fifth of the campaign, meaning he misses next week's home clash against HSV.
46'

Back underway!

Frankfurt get the ball rolling for the second half here in Augsburg. Riera makes two changes at the break, introducing Knauff and Dōan for Amaimouni-Echghouyab and Arrhov as Eintracht look for a way back into this one.

Half-time: Augsburg 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

So, it's the hosts who head in at the break with their noses in front in a game of few clear-cut chances. Frequent stoppages and injuries have hindered both sides from getting into their flow. That has benefitted Augsburg, though, with Die Fuggerstädter the more clinical of the sides after taking the lead through Kade from arguably the only proper chance of the half. There's work to be done in the second 45 for Albert Riera's men.

Kade breaks the deadlock!

Augsburg lead just before the break. Rieder bursts down the left wing, where he plays an early low cross to Kade. The No.30 tees up Gregoritsch, whose first time effort rattles the post, but Kade is quickest to react, following it in to give Augsburg the lead.

First corner

Brown takes Frankfurt's first corner of the match short to Uzun, who fires a venomous cross into the middle. His ball finds no takers, however, and goes out of play for a throw-in.
42'

Over

Frankfurt work it well. Arrhov cuts in off the left flank, beats a man, and then tees up Højlund, whose subsequent effort is blocked at source. Die Adler recover the ball, though, working it to Uzun on the right side of the Augsburg's box, who looks to curl a left-footed effort towards the far corner, but fires it over the bar.
camera-photo

First start

After only making his first Bundesliga appearance late on on Matchday 22 - his first of five - 17-year-old Love Arrhov was handed his first ever Bundesliga start this afternoon ahead of top scorer Jonathan Burkardt.
37'

Well cleared

Giannoulis races up the left flank and bursts into Frankfurt's penalty area. He drills a low cross towards the front post, but Zetterer is there to clear it behind for another Augsburg corner. Once again, the hosts fail to capitalise on the set-piece.
35'

Another stoppage

Skhiri stayed down clutching his knee after being on the receiving end of a physical challenge. He's left the field for further treatment, but is yet to have been replaced. Theate has been sent to warm up, though.
32'

Just wide

Kalimuendo cuts in off the right flank before making space for a shot. He aims his effort towards the near post, but can only find the side netting.

Heavy challenge

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab has stayed down after backtracking to make a good, last-ditch challenge on Claude-Maurice inside his own penalty area. The young winger is back to his feet and is set to continue for now, though.
25'

Yet another corner

Gregoritsch wins his side's fourth corner off Skhiri. Claude-Maurice swings it in from the left, but a Frankfurt head flicks it clear.

Brown down

Frankfurt's left-back takes some time to get to his feet after being on the receiving end of a physical challenge. He seems determined to continue, though.

Winning his early duels

Koch has been called to defend corners twice already this afternoon. By contrast, his side are yet to have taken one.
16'

Snapshot

Under pressure from multiple Eintracht defenders, Claude-Maurice does well to evade a couple of challenges before letting fly from outside the Frankfurt box. His effort flies wide left of the post, however.
13'

In by Uzun

Uzun and Browne work a quick free-kick routine. The former ultimately swings a deep cross in towards the far post, where Amenda rises highest. The defender's header, however, is straight at Dahmen.
10'

No way through

Uzun plays an incisive pass for Amaimouni-Echghouyab, but the young winger runs into too much traffic on the edge of the Augsburg box and is dispossessed before he can get a shot away.
7'

First yellow

Skhiri is booked for an earlier challenge on Kade.
6'

Can't capitalise

A mix-up at the back for Frankfurt almost allows Gregoritsch a one-on-one with Zetterer. However, the keeper was alert to the danger, rushing out of his box to clear it for Frankfurt.
4'

Early corner

Claude-Maurice whips a right-footed corner in from the left. It's aimed towards the front post, where it finds no takers, but Gregoritsch does well to win another corner. Frankfurt manage to clear on the second time of asking, though.
2'

Brief stoppage

The referee calls a halt to proceedings after Augsburg's Gregoritsch and Frankfurt's Zetterer stayed down after colliding with each other in mid-air. They're both back to their feet now, though, and are set to continue.

Albert Riera on facing Augsburg

"We're in a good mood. We have to look at ourselves. We know that they're a strong team at home with not many defeats there but I have to say that this week was the best week in training since I came here."

Manuel Baum on facing Frankfurt

"We have analysed Frankfurt and know the plan they want to implement. If you look at the overall transfer value of their team, you can understand how much quality they have. We are well prepared, but it won't be an easy task!"

Struggling for consistency

Frankfurt have collected 15 points in 10 games under head coach Albert Riera, at an average of 1.5 per game. That's exactly the same rate as the Eagles managed in the first 18 matchdays under former head coach Dino Toppmöller, who took 27 points. Die Adler have also scored only 15 goals in those 10 matches under Riera (1.5 per game), compared to 2.1 per game in the first 18 matchdays under Toppmöller.

Mathematical safety in their sights

The 2-1 win in Leverkusen last weekend means Augsburg's buffer over the relegation play-off spot is a comfortable 10 points with four matchdays remaining. Victory over Frankfurt would guarantee the renewal of their Bundesliga status for a 16th consecutive time.
