Late goals leave Eintracht and Berlin tied and still looking for first win of
2026
BERLIN (AP) --- Union Berlin drew with Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 in a poor
Bundesliga game that came alive in the final minutes with two goals and a red
card on Friday.
After 83 scrappy minutes, Nathaniel Brown put Frankfurt ahead with a rasping
shot from 15 meters. Substitute Mahmoud Dahoud mistimed his scissor kick but
the ball fell perfectly for Brown to volley home.
The goal set up the visitor for its first win in nine games but its hopes
crumbled just seconds later.
Oscar Hojlund was sent off for a second bookable offense two minutes after his
side took the lead and Leopold Querfeld scored from the resulting penalty.
The draw meant both clubs were still looking for their first win of 2026.
The late implosion was particularly galling for Albert Riera, who took over as
Frankfurt coach this week and was denied a starting three points. One bright
spot was the team's defensive display. Friday's game was the first in eight
this year in which it has not conceded at least two goals.
Frankfurt was seventh in the table, three points ahead of Berlin in ninth.
