Ubiquitous Lindstrom
The man of the match in this victory of Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 against Marseille.
Associated with Kolo Muani and Gotze in the attacking trio of Eintracht, Jesper Lindstrom notably achieved a huge first period.
In all good shots, the Danish international is directly involved in the two goals of his team.
From the start, his body feint allowed Kamada to spin open the scoring in the area (3rd).
It was he who then created the gap at the origin of Kolo Muani's goal.
Less prominent after the break, but author of several valuable defensive returns.
Ndicka, solid and active
If Kolo Muani scored and opened his goal counter in the Champions League, Evan Ndicka was the most prominent Eintracht Frenchman.
Solid, the 23-year-old delivered an effective performance in central defense.
Rarely surprised and at the origin of the opener, on a rise full of energy and a well-felt cross.
No wonder several big European teams are interested in his services.
Trapp, job well done
Very fulfilled since his return to Frankfurt in 2018, Kevin Trapp was again very solid this Wednesday.
The former Parisian has nothing to reproach himself with for the Marseille equalizer and the recovery at close range from Guendouzi.
His saving interventions against Harit (44th), then on a free kick from Sanchez (59th) were decisive, while Eintracht was undergoing the Marseille burst.

FLOPS
Defenseless OM
Beaten on the lawn of Deutsche Bank Park, OM paid dearly for their defensive mistakes.
The Phocaeans flaunted too much excitement, especially in the first period.
The Mbemba-Gigot-Balerdi trio suffered in the middle and accumulated approximations, while Clauss and Tavares were often trapped behind their backs.
Bad placements, misunderstandings and lack of aggressiveness... Frankfurt knew how to take advantage of it and could even have distanced itself from the scoreboard with more accuracy in the last gesture.
Tudor Coaching
His starting composition was not surprising.
But his coaching may have left you perplexed.
While OM were chasing the score in the second half, Igor Tudor did not seem inspired in his choices.
Like the exit of Mattéo Guendouzi, scorer but replaced from the hour mark by Under.
A surprising choice given the performance of the former Gunner, in the legs while Veretout and Rongier suffered in the midfield.
The Croatian technician, whose three changes had no effect, also decided to leave Dimitri Payet on the bench until the end.
The quality of the strike or center of the Reunionese, especially on a set piece, could have brought more to the Phocaeans at the end of the match.
