Frankfurt 4-2 Darmstadt: Mario Götze was the big man at Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday, but Bastian Schweinsteiger still saw an imperfection.
“What was going on there?” former teammate Schweinsteiger asked Götze laughingly from the ARD studio. The former PSV player had done almost everything right against Darmstadt, but missed a dot of an opportunity halfway through the first half.
Thirty-year-old Götze could withstand the blow of the plague. He said, “Philipp Max did very well, I was a bit surprised by the cross. Of course I had to do it, especially in this situation, it was a great chance to make it 2-0.”
Trainer Oliver Glasner designated Götze as man of the match after the cup victory over Darmstadt. The German international was good for two assists and, according to Sport, was in control. “He opened the game to the left and right and played crucial balls deep.”
For Eintracht Frankfurt, the number five in the Bundesliga, an away match at FC Köln awaits on Sunday. Frankfurt lost for the last time on October 29 (1-2 to Dortmund) and hopes to further expand its unbeaten status at number eleven in the ranking.
