Featured Game – Eintracht Frankfurt 5-2 Union Berlin
The common cliché in football is that the game is a game of two halves. However, sometimes a game can feel like there was only one half. This was one of those occasions. Nearly all the action took place in the first 45 minutes, with six of the eventual seven goals already scored by the break – the most this Bundesliga season so far. After drawing away in Leipzig last weekend, Eintracht would have wanted to return to winning ways, but facing an unpredictable Union is never easy. The club, only promoted to the top-flight for the first time last campaign, have not experienced the second season syndrome that has seen so many teams crash back down due to a false sense of security built up by a successful first. Therefore, the half time score line would have come as something of a welcome surprise for Eintracht, however not without a series of trials and tribulations beforehand.
