😮 Frankfurt v Mainz makes history, a Bundesliga first in 6515 games

For the conclusion of the tenth matchday in the Bundesliga, Eintracht Frankfurt and Mainz 05 delivered a very special kind of finale. Before the national players head into the international break, the Nullfünfer and the SGE offered a historically uneventful first half.

Since detailed data collection by 'Opta', a total of 6515 matches have been played in the Bundesliga. In no previous duel were there as few shots on goal by halftime as there were this evening in Frankfurt.
