The "Euro-Adler" also fly in the league: Four days after the acclaimed knockout round in the Champions League, Eintracht Frankfurt has continued to soar in the Bundesliga.
Coach Oliver Glasner's team defied an early deficit at FC Augsburg and won 2-1 (1-1).
Sebastian Rode (13th) and Ansgar Knauff (64th) turned the gap suffered by Mergim Berisha (1st) after just 31 seconds.
Eintracht thus consolidated their place in the international ranks a week after the defeat against Borussia Dortmund.
Augsburg had little to oppose the SBU, especially in the second half, and remained without a win for the sixth game in a row.
Beforehand, Glasner had emphasized that his team had to "call up the whole program in order to leave the pitch as winners".
Consequently, the Austrian almost completely trusted the victorious team from Lisbon.
Only Daichi Kamada, who was stopped by an infection, was missing and was replaced by Rode.
After the successful premier class intermezzo, Glasner himself said he was "excited to see how far we have come" - the first impression shouldn't be too long in coming.
Berisha completed the first attack of the game to give Augsburg the lead.
Due to FCA's aggressive pressing, Frankfurt initially had some trouble finding an answer and had to concentrate much more on not giving up the game in the first ten minutes.
In a relief attack, Mario Götze then sent Eric Dina Ebimbe on the journey.
Rode only had to push his low cross over the line.
The game calmed down afterwards, both teams slowed down a bit after the intense initial phase.
While little worked out of the game, Frankfurt came twice dangerous after counterattacks by Djibril Sow (17th) and Dina Ebimbe (29th).
Shortly before the break, Augsburg had the best chance to take the lead, but Ermedin Demirovic (42nd) failed from just a few meters at the strongly reacting Kevin Trapp in the Frankfurt goal.
After the break, Eintracht kept looking for a way forward and thus gained a slight overweight.
After a corner from the left, Knauff, who came on as a substitute at half-time, got the ball from a half-left position – and with his direct acceptance caused a storm of jubilation in the guest block, which was in good form.
