DORTMUND, Germany (AP) \u2014 Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s hopes of securing European football next season were dealt a potentially fatal blow when it gave up an early lead and lost at Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in the Bundesliga on Friday.<\/p>\n
Young striker Can Uzun silenced the home crowd with less than two minutes gone when he put the visitor ahead after excellent work inside the box from Mahmoud Dahoud.<\/p>\n
However, Dortmund scored twice on the eve of halftime to take control.<\/p>\n
Serhou Guirassy\u2019s superb finish from a Julian Ryerson cross levelled the score after 42 minutes and Nico Schlotterbeck put Dortmund ahead in first-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Samuele In\u00e1cio made it 3-1 with his first goal for the club, when he volleyed in a cross from Max Beier.<\/p>\n
Jonathan Burkardt got one back for Frankfurt three minutes from time but it was too late.<\/p>\n
With Bayern Munich already crowned champion and Dortmund having secured one of the four guaranteed Champions League spots, the home side had little to play for.<\/p>\n
However, the win guaranteed it second place in the Bundesliga, taking it out of reach of Leipzig.<\/p>\n
The result, though, was a sore one for Frankfurt, one of three teams in with a chance of seventh place and the one available Conference League playoff spot.<\/p>\n
The loss handed the momentum to Freiburg, which can guarantee seventh with a win at Hamburg on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Freiburg has 44 points and Eintracht has 43 having played a game more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DORTMUND, Germany (AP) \u2014 Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s hopes of securing European football next season were dealt a potentially fatal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10172,333,5,10174,10176,10177,10175,221,640,799,795,796,797,10173],"class_list":{"0":"post-11296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-borussia-dortmund-eintracht-frankfurt-bundesliga","9":"tag-dortmund","10":"tag-germany","11":"tag-jonathan-burkardt","12":"tag-julian-ryerson","13":"tag-mahmoud-dahoud","14":"tag-max-beier","15":"tag-nico-schlotterbeck","16":"tag-package-100024-ap-online","17":"tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","18":"tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","19":"tag-product-32554-ap-online-soccer-game-stories","20":"tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","21":"tag-samuele-inacio"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
