Tottenham, Eintracht Frankfurt draw 1-1 in Europa League quarter-final

Frankfurt took an early lead with Hugo Ekitike's goal in the sixth minute, but Spurs equalized with a brilliant back-heel finish from Pedro Porro midway through the first half. Despite dominating possession and creating more chances, including hitting the woodwork twice, Tottenham struggled to find the decisive second goal, leaving the tie finely balanced ahead of the second leg in Germany next week.

The match showcased both teams' inconsistencies, with Spurs needing to improve to progress to the semi-finals for the first time since 2019. The home crowd's support was palpable, but many remain skeptical about Spurs' ability to secure a victory in the return leg.
