“We were really poor on the ball” – Toppmöller critical of performance against Augsburg

Die Adler’s head coach reflected on his side’s 0-0 draw on Matchday 30.

After a rather frustrating scoreless stalemate with FC Augsburg this afternoon, Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Dino Toppmöller reacted to the result at full-time.

 “It wasn’t a great first half. We were really poor on the ball and kept letting Augsburg create chances by giving the ball away.

“We reacted well in the second half. Kevin Trapp produced a sensational save to deny [Phillip] Tietz at the end and preserve the clean sheet.

“Getting a point and not coming away from here with a defeat is extremely important, particularly from a psychological point of view. We reacted well, got the point and we can move on to next week,” the 44-year-old added.

Die Adler will now prepare for a meeting with fellow contenders for the Champions League places in RB Leipzig next weekend. Only three points separates the two teams in the table with four fixtures remaining.
