Eintracht Frankfurt defended fourth place in the Bundesliga table with a 3-1 (1-0) win at TSG Hoffenheim.
The Frankfurters celebrated their third success in a row and are still undefeated in the league in 2021.
The goals were scored by Filip Kostic (15th minute), Evan N'Dicka (62nd) and striker André Silva (64th).
In the meantime, Hoffenheim equalized with Ilhas Bebou (47th).
The decisive Frankfurt player was Kostic.
The Serb scored the opening goal with a low shot from the left into the far corner and prepared the other two hits.
Eintracht dominated the first half after Kostic's goal, Hoffenheim found it very difficult on the offensive and did not have any great chances.
The substitute Bebou changed that with his first action.
Andrej Kramaric fit into the striker's run, Makoto Hasebe and Martin Hinteregger defended too passively and so Bebou shot into the right corner.
And what did the Frankfurters do?
They reacted as it should be for a top team: N'Dicka started at the right moment in a free kick from Kostic and headed an untenable one from 15 meters, two minutes later Kostic crossed at the end of a counterattack with feeling on the second post, where Silva was also free hit by head.
