Both Wolfsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 2-2 in the Bundesliga, a result that hampered both teams' chances of qualifying for the European League. 10 minutes into the game, Wolfsburg scored the game's opening goal when Yannick Gerhardt let Omar Marmoush free to score into an empty net after eluding goalkeeper Kevin Trapp; the offside flag was overturned by a video review as well. But Randal Kolo Muani's 11th goal of the season scored at the far post in the 22nd minute, and Evan Ndicka's strike into the top left corner four minutes later gave Europa League champions Frankfurt the advantage.
Yet shortly before halftime, Wolfsburg drew even at 2-2 thanks to Gerhardt's thunderous header off a Patrick Wimmer free-kick. Ndicka's right post strike denied Frankfurt a late winner, keeping them in sixth place and three points out of the top four spots for the Champions League with just four points from their previous four games.
