Eintracht Frankfurt started off the international break with a defeat. A first minor setback for the Hessian team in the still young season. Did SGE anticipate the defeat in advance? Because Frankfurt hasn't won at Bayer for over eleven years.
The last victory was on December 15, 2013. At that time, Eintracht won 1:0. At the same time, SGE missed the leap to the top of the table.

One question really angered Dino Toppmöller after the final whistle. In the Sky interview, it was about the match being described in advance as a duel of the Bayern hunters. "Perhaps Eintracht will even replace Bayer as Bayern hunter number one. Was that a bit too much for you?", asked Sky reporter Dirk große Schlarmann. "Maybe all this shit just stops now", the Eintracht coach reacted angrily.
But the sporting aspect was also discussed. "The chances they had were all relatively unnecessary ball losses from us", Toppmöller was not very enthusiastic. Markus Krösche also criticized his players afterwards: "We played too slowly, so it was easy for Leverkusen to defend us. We lost deservedly."
Due to the worse goal difference, Frankfurt temporarily slips to third place.
