Kevin Trapp: Not a nice football day for the goalkeeper. Was tunnelled by goal scorer Brandt at 0:1. He couldn’t prevent Bellingham’s 2-1. Didn’t get a chance to make a big difference otherwise. Shared the annoyance of those in front of him about referee Stegemann’s weaknesses in judgment.
Total: Didn’t do what he should have done. Couldn’t stop Malen at the 0:1 goal preparer and wasn’t up to the 1:2 either. Must bring more calm and overview into his game. His flanks can also be improved.
Kristijan Jakic: His effort earned the grade one. Went where it hurt. Blocked a few shots on goal from Dortmund. But he wasn’t there in time for the 1-2 draw against Moukoko.
Evan Ndicka: As the final defender, he couldn’t stop Brandt from scoring and was also tunnelled. Overall solid in his defense work. Quite reserved in the game going forward.
Junior Dina Ebimbe: You can see his increased self-confidence. Often sought the way forward with a quick start and left his opponents standing. However, it must be more dangerous. And he didn’t always have the right balance between defense and attack.
Luca Pellegrini: No man for consistency in the game. Started weak and lost the ball in front of the 0:1. But worked his way into the game in the second half and combined nicely. His crosses and free kicks need to be more targeted.
Daichi Kamada: Was one of the candidates for sale during the transfer period for economic reasons. Now delivering something countable: His goal to make it 1-1 was his eleventh competitive goal this season in three competitions. Brings a special touch to the Eintracht game with his game intelligence and elegance. Conductor in top form.
Sebastian Rode: As always, with impeccable professionalism. Ran and worked. Played a nice pass to Kolo Muani. However, not everything that the captain undertook made sense.
Jesper Lindström: Missed the hit to make it 2-2. Should have gotten a penalty after poking Adeyemi just before half-time. Was often involved in dangerous actions. However, also lost some balls.
Mario Götze: Another big win. In tandem with Kamada clock for all. Distributed and conquered balls. Brilliant with clever ideas. But remained unsuccessful. Schlotterbeck saved his shot on the line.
Randal Colored: Powerhouse with one big shortcoming: Despite the best chances, the Frenchman was not among the top scorers, especially in the second half. His remarkable lob landed on the goalpost. Always with a train to the opposing goal. But not always with the necessary assertiveness.
Djibril Sow: Replaced Rode. Without game-changing actions.
Lucas Alario: Was allowed to play for Lindström. He has not yet become a goalscorer in Frankfurt.
Raphael Borre: Came into play for Kamada. The Colombian didn’t have a chance to score either.
