After Bayern Munich’s draw against Borussia Dortmund (1-1) on Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt (2nd) had the opportunity to come back to within four points of the Bavarian leader. But for that, Dino Toppmöller’s team had to win on the pitch at Heidenheim (16th), this Sunday, during this 12th day of the Bundesliga. Without Hugo Ékitiké, left on the bench, Frankfurt relied on its serial scorer, Omar Marmoush. Served behind the Heidenheim defense by Nathaniel Brown, the Egyptian international deceived Kevin Müller with his left foot to open the scoring (0-1, 22nd). At halftime, Eintracht were ahead on the scoreboard.

Returning from the locker room, the visitors remained on the same line and only took three minutes to make the break. Coming into play at half-time, Farès Chaïbi took advantage of a poor clearance from the Heidenheim defense, on a cross from Brown, to beat Müller from the left (0-2, 49th). Frankfurt then added to the score thanks to Marmoush, author of a rush of almost 30 meters to score a double (0-3, 58th). Author of his 12th and 13th league goals of the season, the 25-year-old center forward is only one goal behind Harry Kane, at the top of the Bundesliga scorers’ rankings. Hugo Ekitiké then sealed the victory at the end of the match (0-4, 90th+4). On a more global level, Eintracht Frankfurt is doing well with this success (0-4) in the south of Germany and comes within four units of Bayern in the Bundesliga standings. For its part, Heidenheim remains 16th and a barrier.
