Ritsu Dōan comes off the bench to rescue point for Eintracht Frankfurt against stubborn Augsburg
Augsburg 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Goals: 1-0 Kade 44’, 1-1 Dōan 66’ (assist: Uzun)
The WWK-Arena provided the backdrop for an emotionally charged contest as Augsburg welcomed Eintracht Frankfurt with mathematical safety within touching distance. Manuel Baum's Fuggerstädter knew a victory would guarantee their Bundesliga status for a 16th consecutive season, having built an impressive 10-point cushion to the relegation zone after collecting 26 points from 18 matches since their manager took charge back in December.
For the visitors, Albert Riera's side arrived with European ambitions fading, having amassed just four points from their previous four fixtures and struggling for consistency in attack.
Before kick-off, both sets of players and fans observed a poignant minute's silence for former Augsburg goalkeeper Alexander Manninger, who tragically passed away in a car accident eight days earlier.
