VfL Wolfsburg missed it on the 30th Bundesliga match day to hold on to the international places with a home win against Eintracht Frankfurt. The hosts were the more dangerous team, but missed a number of good opportunities and had to settle for a 1-1 (0-0). Substitute Jonathan de Guzmán put the visitors ahead and John Anthony Brooks equalized shortly before the end.
