Hamburger SV 1-3 Eintracht Frankfurt: clinical in front of goal
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 15 shots, Hamburger SV's high across eight matches
- xG 3.04 v 1.74, yet the goals were 1-3
- Atubolu's five saves held Frankfurt's lead
Three goals after the break
A goalless first half gave way to a second period in which only one side kept scoring. Eintracht Frankfurt struck in the 56th, 71st and 75th minutes to open up a three-goal cushion. Hamburger SV replied in the 79th minute through Terem Moffi, his first goal in this season's DFB-Pokal.
Plenty of shots, little to show
Hamburger SV created the better chances. Their 15 shots were the most in any of their eight matches this season, yet they finished 2.04 below their xG. That gap, rather than any lack of volume, is what the scoreline reflects, and it left them chasing the match once Frankfurt went in front.
Frankfurt efficient, Atubolu secure
Frankfurt were not especially dangerous per shot, with an xG per shot of 0.14, but still turned their openings into three goals. At the other end, five saves from Noah Atubolu kept the lead intact while Hamburger SV kept shooting, and the visitors conceded just once.
Koch's opener broke the deadlock
The match turned on Robin Koch's goal in the 56th minute, set up by Jonathan Burkardt. Koch's goal at 0-0 was worth +1.0 FN xPts to Frankfurt, while Hamburger SV's FN xPts fell by 0.8, the largest combined change of the match. The later goals from Burkardt and Younes Ebnoutalib extended an advantage that already existed.
FN MOM
Highest FN Score · our own pick by a published formula, not the official Player of the Match
Robin Koch 8.5Dominant
He scored in the 56th minute and won 10 of his 12 duels over 90 minutes.
Koch's value lay in how much he did around his goal. He completed 51 of 59 passes and made three tackles in a match where Hamburger SV had 15 shots, so the opener at 0-0 came from a player who was busy throughout. That goal gave Frankfurt the lead before Burkardt and Ebnoutalib added to it, which makes him a fitting FN MOM.

FN xPts — what each moment was worth
How much each moment changed that team's expected points (win 3, draw 1). A goal's value is credited 70% to the scorer and 30% to the assist. The value next to a team code is what the same moment did to the other side's expected points; the decisive moment is the one with the largest combined change for both teams.
