Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 VfL Wolfsburg: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, 30 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Eintracht Frankfurt and VfL Wolfsburg played out a tightly contested Bundesliga match that remained goalless through the first half, with Frankfurt holding a slight edge in possession at 54% but unable to convert their dominance into goals. The breakthrough came in the 67th minute when Wolfsburg’s A. Zehnter scored, assisted by S. Kumbedi, giving the visitors a lead they looked set to hold amid a flurry of yellow cards, including one for Wolfsburg’s P. Wimmer just three minutes later at 70’. Substitutions began to influence the game, with Frankfurt making changes at 62’ and 76’, while Wolfsburg adjusted at 71’ and 86’, but the hosts pushed hard in the closing stages.

The match’s dramatic turn arrived deep into injury time, as Frankfurt were awarded a penalty that M. Batshuayi converted at 90+6’ to secure a 1-1 draw, shortly after Wolfsburg received further yellow cards for D. Vavro at 90+4’, K. Koulierakis at 90+5’, and M. Arnold at 90+6’. This late equaliser came after Frankfurt’s final substitution at 82’, highlighting their persistence despite Wolfsburg’s defensive efforts. Overall, the result reflected Frankfurt’s control in key metrics like corners and dribbles, but Wolfsburg’s resilience nearly earned them all three points.

Frankfurt’s 54% possession and overwhelming 14-1 advantage in corners underscored their territorial dominance, yet it was their 55 successful dribbles compared to Wolfsburg’s 20 that truly highlighted their ability to break lines and create opportunities, though this didn’t translate into a win until the late penalty. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, absorbed pressure effectively but picked up four yellow cards against Frankfurt’s one, which disrupted their rhythm in the final minutes and contributed to the conceded spot-kick; they also recorded one assist for their goal, while Frankfurt had none. Substitutions played a role too, with Frankfurt using four—N. Collins replacing J. Bahoya at 62’, M. Batshuayi coming on for M. Gotze at 62’, M. Dahoud for E. Skhiri at 76’, and J. Ngankam for A. Knauff at 82’—while Wolfsburg deployed five, including D. Pejcinovic for M. Amoura at 71’, M. Svanberg for P. Wimmer at 71’, Vini Souza for Y. Gerhardt at 86’, D. Vavro for C. Eriksen at 86’, and P. Hensel for L. Majer at 90+9’, helping them manage fatigue but not enough to prevent the equaliser.

These stats point to Frankfurt’s overall control, but Wolfsburg’s efficiency in front of goal and higher card count reflect a match where discipline and late decisions proved decisive, with the single penalty taken by Frankfurt ultimately levelling the scores.

The game’s pivotal moment arrived in the 67th minute when Wolfsburg took the lead through A. Zehnter’s goal, assisted by S. Kumbedi, shifting momentum after a first half where Frankfurt had controlled play but failed to score. Frankfurt’s response included key substitutions, such as M. Batshuayi replacing M. Gotze at 62’, which later proved crucial, and the hosts’ pressure built amid Wolfsburg’s disciplinary issues, with yellow cards for P. Wimmer at 70’, D. Vavro at 90+4’, K. Koulierakis at 90+5’, and M. Arnold at 90+6’ adding tension. The equaliser came via a penalty converted by Batshuayi at 90+6’, awarded in stoppage time and unassisted, rescuing a point for Frankfurt after they had trailed.

Another turning point was Frankfurt’s yellow card to N. Brown at 56’, which briefly disrupted their rhythm, but their substitutions—like N. Collins coming on for J. Bahoya at 62’ and M. Dahoud for E. Skhiri at 76’—helped maintain intensity, while Wolfsburg’s changes, including M. Svanberg replacing P. Wimmer at 71’, aimed to protect their lead but couldn’t stop the late drama.

Eintracht Frankfurt lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, allowing for solid defensive structure while enabling attacking partnerships, such as those in midfield where players like E. Skhiri provided balance before his substitution at 76’.

VfL Wolfsburg adopted a 4-2-3-1 shape, focusing on compact defending and quick transitions, with standout roles in the attack where A. Zehnter’s goal-scoring contribution highlighted effective wide partnerships.

M. Batshuayi earns the Bwin MOTM for his decisive injury-time penalty at 90+6’ after coming on as a substitute at 62’, salvaging a draw for Eintracht Frankfurt with composure under pressure.
