🚨 Alex Meier on fire, surprise striker scores straight away for SGE | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt's away game in the Champions League started as poorly as possible. In the first match after Dino Toppmöller, SGE was already trailing against Qarabağ Ağdam after just four minutes.

In freezing temperatures in Baku, Eintracht quickly shook it off but just as quickly found an answer. Can Uzun secured the equalizer in the 10th minute.

The two interim coaches Dennis Schmitt and Alex Meier played a significant role. They surprised with a creative solution for the personnel problem in SGE's attack in their starting lineup. Deploying Uzun as a substitute striker up front paid off immediately.

The defense, on the other hand, continues to be a concern. In the early setback, the defensive unit once again did not look good. Unlike the attacking problem, Alex Meier and Dennis Schmitt have yet to find the right solution.
