The fans celebrated themselves. The game was more of a minor matter. Eintracht loses 2-1 in a friendly against regional league team Chemie Leipzig. That was pathetic.
4,999 spectators from the two friendly clubs peacefully hung up their banners: “The Power of the Main” and “The Cult from the East”.

The stars were a long time coming and only arrived at the Alfred Kunze Sports Park after a flight delay of 30 minutes. World champion Mario Götze stayed at home with his pregnant wife Ann-Kathrin, who is expecting their second child. That’s why the playmaker had already passed in the Conference League in Salonika (1:2).
Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller also did without defense chief Robin Koch, regular defender Tuta as well as the ailing captain Sebastian Rode (calf) and clearer Kristijan Jakic (knee).

The second striker played with Jessic Ngankam and Lucas Alario. But the Argentine failed to hit the goal in two chances (24′), then failed to hit the ball (28′). That doesn’t solve Eintracht’s goal-scoring woes.
Surprisingly, it was a real endurance test for substitute goalkeeper Jens Grahl, who is supposed to replace the suspended Trapp in the Conference League against Helsinki next week. First he had to save twice against Hilßner (3rd and 26th), then against Jäpel’s treacherous angled shot (34th).
Because Eintracht’s defense (Smolcic, Hasebe, Chandler) was asleep, it took a hit when Kirstein scored freely to make it 1-0 for Chemie (47th) and Mauer was lucky in the margin to make it 2-0 (53rd).
Eintracht’s U21 attack from the bench caused at least one goal: Noel Futkeu scored after an assist from Nacho Ferri (83′).
Coach Dino Toppmöller: “In the end, Chemie’s victory is well deserved.”
