Spread the love

2-0 win over Benfica on Thursday evening was enough for Eintracht Frankfurt reach the Europa League semi-finals on away goals.

With the first leg ending 4-2 to the Portuguese side, the Germans’ clean sheet guaranteed their progression.

Filip Kostic got them up and running in the 36th minute as he pounced on a rebound after Mijat Gacinovic saw his own effort bounce back off the past.

Eintracht had their chances at the beginning of the second half, but they finally got the second they needed at its midway point.

Benfica‘s defence couldn’t clear their lines with the ball bouncing around their box and were punished as Sebastian Rode fired home from the edge of the area.

The Bundesliga side will take on Chelsea in the semi-finals.
