Sharjah24: Borussia Dortmund came from behind to secure a 3-2 victory over visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the 33rd round of the German Bundesliga.
Frankfurt opened the scoring early through Can Uzun in the second minute, but the home side responded before half-time with goals from Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy (42) and defender Nico Schlotterbeck (45+1).
Teenager seals Dortmund win
Eighteen-year-old Italian midfielder Samuele Inacio added a third goal for Dortmund in the second half (72).
Frankfurt pulled one back late on through Jonathan Burkardt in the 87th minute.
Dortmund secure second place
The win confirmed Dortmund in second place with 72 points behind champions Bayern Munich, having already secured qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Frankfurt remain eighth on 43 points, putting their hopes of qualifying for next season’s UEFA Europa Conference League in danger. They sit one point behind seventh-placed SC Freiburg, who still have a game in hand.
Pressure grows on Riera
The position of Frankfurt coach Albert Riera is reportedly under threat before the end of the season, particularly after a disappointing campaign from a side that competed in the Champions League this term.
