Arnaud Kalimuendo will undoubtedly remember his big debut with Eintracht Frankfurt. He went through all the emotions. Officially loaned with an option to buy to the German club by Nottingham Forest in midweek, the striker made his very first appearance during the spectacular draw against Borussia Dortmund (3-3). He also largely contributed to this river score between two teams aiming for the top of the table.
We can even say that his entry woke everyone up in this meeting inaugurating the 16th day of the Bundesliga. Entering in the 63rd minute at 1-1 in place of Uzun, also author of the equalizing penalty in the 22nd, the 23-year-old Frenchman only took eight minutes to stand out. While BvB had just regained the advantage through Nmecha (68th), he sent a perfect through ball to Ebnoutalib, who equalized at 2-2 (71st).
A decisive entry which was almost spoiled by a red…
In stoppage time, he wreaked havoc in the left side penalty area, forcing the Borussia defense to make a bad clearance, which Mohamed Dahoud took back with first intention (90th + 1). Eintracht thought they would get a precious victory, but Chukwuemeka managed to put everyone back on level terms after a somewhat crazy evening. Kalimuendo almost seemed like the hero, because his entrance changed everything. She could also have rushed her team.
In the 82nd minute, the former Rennais was guilty of a very bad tackle on Nico Schlotterbeck in the central circle, which earned him a yellow card. But for Niko KovaÄŤ, questioned after the meeting on Sky Sportthe VAR should have intervened to expel the new recruit. “I don’t want to demand anything, but for me, it’s a red card! It touches the ankle first above, then below. » The BvB coach was not listened to, Schlotterbeck was still able to resume the game after staying on the ground for a long time, and Kalimuendo was hot on that one. A really hectic first.
