Trapp Struggles in Attack, Eintracht Frankfurt Barely Edges Out FK RFS

Frankfurt's Goalkeeping Woes Continue

Eintracht Frankfurt's struggles in front of goal continued on Thursday as they narrowly defeated FK RFS 1-0 in the UEFA Europa League. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Frankfurt failed to capitalize on their opportunities, leaving them frustrated and searching for answers.

Trapp's Poor Form Raises Concerns

Of particular concern was the performance of goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who has been under fire for his recent mistakes. Against RFS, Trapp looked shaky and indecisive, failing to command his area effectively. His poor form has raised questions about his suitability for the starting role, with some fans calling for a change between the sticks.

Lack of Cutting Edge in Attack

Frankfurt's attacking players also failed to impress, lacking the sharpness and precision needed to break down a stubborn RFS defense. Star striker Randal Kolo Muani was particularly ineffective, squandering several good chances and failing to provide the attacking spark that Frankfurt desperately needed.

Late Goal Saves Frankfurt

Just when it seemed that Frankfurt would be held to a disappointing draw, Jens Hauge came to the rescue with a late goal in the 85th minute. The Norwegian winger capitalized on a defensive error to slot home the winner, handing Frankfurt a much-needed victory.

Mixed Feelings for Glasner

Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner expressed mixed feelings after the match. While pleased with the result, he acknowledged the team's shortcomings in attack and the need for improvement. "We created enough chances to win by a more comfortable margin, but we lacked the cutting edge in the final third," Glasner said. "We need to be more clinical and decisive in front of goal if we want to compete at the highest level."

Looking Ahead

Frankfurt will have little time to dwell on their performance as they face a tough test against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday. The match will provide a further opportunity for Trapp and the attacking players to prove their worth and silence the critics.
