Injuries in a trivial game: Eintracht 0:2 in Aberdeen

Nothing was at stake, which makes the personnel losses all the more bitter: Eintracht had to take Dina Ebimbe and Trapp off the pitch with injuries. That clouds the outlook for the end of the year.

Soccer - Injuries in a trivial game: Eintracht 0:2 in Aberdeen

Too strong for FC Bayern, too weak for FC Aberdeen: Eintracht Frankfurt finished the meaningless Conference League match with two injured key players and suffered a sporting setback. Five days after the furious 5:1 victory over the record champions from Munich, the club from Hesse lost 2:0 (0:1) in Scotland on Thursday to end the group stage with three wins and three defeats.

Even before the game, in which striker Duk (41st minute) and Ester Sokler (74th) scored for the hosts in front of 14,474 spectators, it was clear that Frankfurt would finish the group stage in second place behind PAOK Thessaloniki. Eintracht will play a third-placed Europa League team on February 15 and 22 in the play-offs of the knockout round. As the winner of the preliminary round, Saloniki will go straight through to the round of 16, which will be played in March.

Even more than the defeat, coach Dino Toppmöller is probably bothered by the injuries. Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe had to be substituted after just a few minutes. The double goal scorer from the Bayern game twisted his ankle and is now in danger of missing the remaining games at Bayer Leverkusen (Sunday) and against Borussia Mönchengladbach (Wednesday). Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was substituted at half-time and was replaced by substitute Jens Grahl. In Trapp's case, it could also have been a precautionary measure.

It was not easy for Eintracht to find motivation for the game on the British Isles. Not only the sporting incentive was missing, but also the support of their own fans, who were not allowed to attend due to the misbehavior at the guest match in Helsinki. Nevertheless, more than 100 supporters made their way to the stadium to watch Aberdeen FC, who had already been eliminated from international competition before the sixth matchday.

Sporting director Timmo Hardung told RTL in advance: "It's a natural reflex to want to win and be better than your opponent. On the one hand, you don't want to break the rhythm, on the other hand you want to spread the load." Every game is "important". Eintracht then had a lot of control and the better chances, but in contrast to the gala against Bayern, there was a lack of efficiency. Duk did better and punished the visitors mercilessly. It was the Scots' first real chance. After the break, Sokler scored after an outstanding assist from Dante Polvara.
