Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 2 Hoffenheim: Hoffenheim continue good run with win at Frankfurt
Posted Sunday, April 10, 2016 by PA
Hoffenheim continued their rise up the Bundesliga with a 2-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt which leaves the Eagles inside the bottom two with five games of the season remaining.
Substitutes Nadiem Amiri and Mark Uth scored the goals which lift Julian Nagelsmann's men three points clear of the relegation play-off berth and condemn Niko Kovac to a third defeat in four games in charge.
Lukas Hradecky was the busier of the two goalkeepers in the first half, twice denying Andrej Kramaric as Hoffenheim displayed more confidence than their hosts.
Frankfurt had the first chance of the second half when Jeremy Toljan cleared Carlos Zambrano's header off the line.
The next chance came at the other end, though, and it was Amiri who did all the work and provided the finish to a swift counter-attack, tucking his low shot past Hradecky from just outside the penalty area.
It knocked the stuffing out of a Frankfurt side already low on confidence, and Uth finished them off with practically the last kick of the game, with the inspired winter signing Kramaric the provider.
