Hoffenheim Secures Long-Awaited Win Against Struggling Frankfurt
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim secured a much-needed home victory against Eintracht Frankfurt, marking an end to their ten-game losing streak in the league. The win was further boosted by the defeats of Bochum and Stuttgart, providing a glimmer of hope for Hoffenheim as they aim to secure their league status.
Grischa Prömel, who returned from an injury break, was a key factor in Hoffenheim's win. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo praised Prömel for his performance, stating that his team showed a lot of heart while playing with a man down after Stanley Nsoki received a red card for Hoffenheim in the second half. Christoph Baumgartner, Andrej Kramaric, and Ihlas Bebou also scored for Hoffenheim in the game, with Mario Götze adding another goal in the second half.
On the other side, Eintracht Frankfurt's woes continued as they suffered their eleventh consecutive league defeat. Oliver Glasner was shown a red card during the game, and tensions are running high at the club. Reports suggest that Glasner's tenure as coach may end after the Pokal finale against RB Leipzig on June 3rd.
Following their defeat, Eintracht Frankfurt's professionals boycotted the subsequent interview. Kevin Trapp and Mario Götze harshly criticized the referee, Osmers, during the game. Glasner referred to a thrown ball as his "silent protest against the referee's performance."
Internal disagreements seem to be growing within Eintracht Frankfurt, with Glasner's anger apparent during a press conference where he shouted about the team's understanding of the game and the condition of player Makoto Hasebe, who had played 90 minutes three times in one week and had experienced blood in his urine.
Despite the ongoing struggles at Eintracht Frankfurt, Pellegrino Matarazzo expressed his relief that his team finally managed to reward themselves with a win. The victory brings Matarazzo closer to securing the league status for Hoffenheim, after being close to being fired in March.
