Frankfurt defeats Kiel 3-1 to secure third in Bundesliga

Eintracht Frankfurt secured a 3-1 victory over Holstein Kiel, consolidating their third place in the Bundesliga and snapping a streak of three draws. Hugo Larsson opened the scoring in the 18th minute, followed by a goal from Tuta in the 37th after a defensive error from Kiel. Despite Hugo Ekitiké missing a penalty and having a late goal ruled out for offside, Can Uzun extended the lead in the 59th minute with a capitalized mistake from Kiel's defense. Kiel managed a consolation goal through Finn Porath in the 73rd minute, but the defeat leaves them at the bottom of the league, eight points adrift of safety. This win positions Frankfurt five points clear of fourth-placed RB Leipzig, as they aim for a Champions League spot. Upcoming matches against Bayern Munich and Leverkusen pose a significant challenge for Frankfurt in the remaining fixtures of the season.
