Eintracht Frankfurt edged past 10-man VfB Stuttgart with a 1-0 victory at Deutsche Bank Park, boosting their push for European football.
The match remained finely balanced until a turning point arrived when Stuttgart’s Ameen Al-Dakhil received a red card, shifting the momentum in Frankfurt’s favour.
Seizing the opportunity, Mario Götze broke the deadlock in the 71st minute, securing all three points for the hosts.
Stuttgart started on the front foot, controlling possession and posing an early threat.
Jamie Leweling tested Frankfurt’s goalkeeper Kaua Santos in the opening exchanges, while Enzo Millot came close with an effort that narrowly missed the mark.
As the game progressed, Frankfurt began asserting themselves, with Ansgar Knauff nearly finding the net—only for Maximilian Mittelstädt’s crucial intervention to keep the score level.
