Lots of love for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart against Leverkusen. Recently, top Bundesliga games were often a bland affair, FC Bayern demolished BVB and that was it. This top duel showed that others are currently playing more exciting football. Two teams, by the way, that were still deep in the bottom exactly a year ago. The 1:1 was a fantastic duel full of speed, finesse, clarity, many scoring opportunities and well-played goals. What it looks like when Xabi Alonso and Sebastian Hoeneß are on the line, probably the most effective coaches in the league at the moment. The Bundesliga can be so beautiful. The first half belonged entirely to VfB, who shot on goal eleven times and only had to be accused of only scoring once by Führich. Wirtz then equalized early in the second half and Leverkusen were closer to victory in the end. “It was a good half-time meeting,” said the Spaniard. We would have liked to have been there. The good news for all fans of the beautiful game: just hours after the final whistle, both teams were drawn together for the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup.
