A solid debut by Vasoski characterised Eintracht’s 1-0 win last night. Aachen started brightly. Their tight pressing game allowed them to dominate the opening 15 minutes, but Frankfurt started to get into gear and make breaks. Half-way through the first half a long pass from Chris to Cha on the wing saw an Aachen defender misdirect his clearance into his own penalty area. Van Lent was first to the ball and bundled it past the keeper.
After that Frankfurt controlled the game, creating quite a few chances, without adding to the goal tally. Aachen rarely threatened and Pröll had a quiet evening at the other end. With no way through that rarest of sights, a tight Frankfurt defence, Aachen were reduced to hopeless long range shots by the end.
While it wasn’t spectacular, and not everybody had a great game, the work-rate throughout the team was impressive. More of the same over the next few weeks should see us getting closer to the promotion places. All in all, a good nights work in front of 19,000 frozen spectators.
