Berlin, Nov 22: Eintracht Frankfurt’s revival under new coach Oliver Glasner continued with a 2-0 win at third-place Freiburg in the Bundesliga.
It was Freiburg’s first defeat in its third league game in its new stadium, and its second straight in the league after a 2-1 loss at leader Bayern Munich before the international break.
First-half goals from Jesper Lindström and Filip Kostic gave Frankfurt its third successive win across competitions and its third altogether from 12 league games so far. Frankfurt climbed to 11th in the 18-team division.
Cologne drew at Mainz 1-1 in the late game, when its top scorer Anthony Modeste was forced off with an injury. Glasner, who joined Frankfurt after leading Wolfsburg to the Champions League last season, had endured a difficult start to his tenure when Frankfurt was knocked out in the first round of the German Cup ten went seven league games without a win.
The visitors had luck on their side as Freiburg’s Lukas Kübler inadvertently set up Lindström for the opener in the 34th. Then a free kick from Kostic was somehow missed by teammates and defenders alike before it bounced inside the top corner in the 43rd.
Freiburg remains third, but Bayer Leverkusen is just a point behind, and Union Berlin and Wolfsburg are just another point further back. (AP)
