Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Mönchengladbach played out a goalless draw in their Bundesliga clash on Saturday afternoon, with Eintracht's Christian Bensebaini scoring the only goal from a free kick to lead his team to victory.
The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to break down the other's defense. However, it was Eintracht who ultimately emerged victorious thanks to Bensebaini's stunning effort from outside the box.
The French midfielder rose highest to head home a cross from the right-hand side of the area, giving Eintracht the lead before half-time. The hosts continued to dominate the second half, with Bensebaini almost doubling their lead just before the hour mark, but his shot was well saved by Gladbach goalkeeper Timo Weil.
Despite their efforts, Eintracht could not find a way past the Gladbach defense, leaving them with nothing to show for their efforts in the end. The draw means that Eintracht will be looking to bounce back next weekend when they face off against Hertha Berlin at the Veltins-Arena.
Overall, it was a frustrating afternoon for Eintracht Frankfurt, who had the better of the contest but were unable to find a winner in the end. It will be interesting to see how the team respond going forward, as they look to continue their push for a place in Europe's top flight.
