Frankfurt defeats Dortmund 2-0, extends struggle

Eintracht Frankfurt secured a 2-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund, further deepening the visitors' struggles this season. The match was marked by Frankfurt's tactical discipline, with striker Hugo Ekitike scoring early and Oscar Hojlund sealing the win in stoppage time after capitalizing on a midfield error. Dortmund dominated possession with 67.8% but failed to convert their chances, managing only three shots on target from twelve attempts. This defeat extends Dortmund's poor run to three consecutive losses and leaves them potentially dropping to 11th place in the Bundesliga standings. The loss puts additional pressure on Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin, who retains the support of the club's management despite the team's poor performance. Frankfurt, on the other hand, is now firmly in the race for a top-four finish, sitting third in the league.
