Comeback of Eintracht before receiving Betis

Eintracht’s comeback five days before the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Betis. The German team took advantage of two mistakes by Bochum to add their second win in a row (2-1) in the Bundesliga on a gray afternoon, solved by such concessions from his rival in just six minutes of margin at the beginning of the second half and by two saving stops by Kevin Trapp, one at 0-1 and the other at 2-1.

Back from the break at the Deutsche Bank stadium, Eintracht resolved an uncomfortable duel, which lost from the 19th minute, when Sebastian Polter headed in a good cross from Konstantinos Stafylidis from a set piece.

He even survived, thanks to Kevin Trapp, Takuma Asano’s 0-2 chance; an unbeatable opportunity in front of the goalkeeper, with all favor, that seemed like a goal or a goal, but it was not, among the relief of the local team.

In six minutes, suddenly, he turned the game around. First, in minute 46, with an own goal by Erhan Masovic, who fatally cleared towards his own goal an incursion whose fate was irrelevant until his intervention (1-1), and then in minute 52, when Eintracht benefited from Herbert Bockhorn’s double error, at the beginning and at the end of the play to throw offside. He enabled Kamada’s shot for 2-1. Kevin Trapp reappeared, already in the final moments, to retain the victory, with another decisive intervention against Antwi-Adjei.
