Eintracht Frankfurt’s winless start to the season continued as the Europa League holders drew 1-1 at home to Koln on Sunday.Frankfurt, who will play in the Champions League this season for the first time since losing the 1960 European Cup final to Real Madrid, now have two points from their opening three Bundesliga games.
Koln looked most likely to open the scoring in the first half, with former Borussia Dortmund striker Steffen Tigges going close in the 38th minute.The home side grew into the game during the second period, frequently pressing Koln back into their own half.Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner brought on Daichi Kamada in the 69th minute and the Japanese midfielder made an immediate impact, scoring from a free-kick just two minutes later.
Replays showed the free-kick was aided on its way to goal by a slight deflection off Koln captain and Germany defender Jonas Hector.Koln upped the ante after conceding and struck back in the 82nd minute through Jan Thielmann, who superbly latched onto a poor clearance from Ansgar Knauff, hammering it into the bottom left corner.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 3FridayBorussia Monchengladbach – Hertha 1-0 (1-0)/Plea 34 pen/SaturdayAugsburg – Mainz 1-2 (1-1)/Demirovic 35 – Onisiwo 31, Lee 90+3/Dortmund – Werder 2-3 (1-0)/Brandt 45+2, Guerreiro 80 – Buchannon 90, Schmidt 90+3, Burk 90+5/Leverkusen – Hoffenheim 0-3 (0-2)/Baumgartner 9, Kramaric 35, Rutter 78/Stuttgart – Freiburg 0-1 (0-1)/Grifo 11/Wolfsburg – Schalke 0-0Union Berlin – Leipzig 2-1 (2-0)/Siebatcheu 32, Becker 38 – Orban 83/SundayEintracht Frankfurt – Koln 1-1 (0-0)/Kamada 71 – Thielmann 82/
