Eintracht Frankfurt stops VfL Wolfsburg’s winning streak

Status: 8:11 a.m.| Reading time: 2 minutes

Dhe VfL Wolfsburg has lost its lead in the Bundesliga against its former coach Oliver Glasner. The Austrian and his new club Eintracht Frankfurt drew a lucky 1-1 (1-0) draw in the Volkswagen Arena. With his equalizing goal in the 70th minute, Wout Weghorst prevented at least VfL’s first defeat of the season. His Dutch compatriot Sam Lammers (38th) had brought Eintracht into the lead in the first half. Because of the worse goal difference, Wolfsburg is in second place with 13 points behind FC Bayern Munich with the same number of points.

In the end, in front of 9266 spectators, no one was satisfied: The “Wolves” mourned many missed opportunities to win their fifth win of the season. And after five Bundesliga games, their DFB Cup and the Europa League opener against Fenerbahce Istanbul, Frankfurt are still waiting for their first ever success with Glasner.

The 47-year-old had the VW Club in the past two years with great sporting success. Although Wolfsburg decided not to say goodbye to the Austrian, his return to the Volkswagen Arena was very warm.

Wolfsburg misses several great opportunities

In the past few weeks, Glasner had to recognize that he did not necessarily improve in terms of sport with his move. When he returned to Wolfsburg, it initially looked as if VfL would overrun Eintracht. After a header chance by Josuha Guilavogui (4th), a nice attack via Dodi Lukebakio, Luca Waldschmidt and Kevin Mbabu (12th) and a crossbar hit by Wout Weghorst (16th), the “Wolves” could have led very early. The fact that they did not take advantage of these opportunities took revenge.

Because Frankfurt got better, especially Filip Kostic and Daichi Kamada in the attacking midfield, VfL hardly got under control. Nevertheless, Wolfsburg was the better team with the better chances. With the 1-1 draw, Eintracht was well served after 90 minutes. In stoppage time, a Wolfsburg hit was not recognized because of offside.
