All square
Around 1,200 witnessed good scoring opportunities for Eintracht in the first half, especially a Knothe header against the crossbar (16'). Also Stendera had a couple of good chances but Benevento took the lead when Lucioni tapped in following a corner situation (34').
Next to goalie Zimmermann also Gacinovic, Tawatha, Dadashov, Besuschkow and Fernandes were subbed in during the second half. Jovic had good chances but was off target (56', 73') but it was Gacinovic who got the equalizer after a decent run through the Benevento defense and a good set-up of Dadashov (76').
Good performance
Eintracht manager Niko Kovac: "We had a young team on the pitch today and they did really well; I am happy about the performance. The lads showed good movement and passing. We will have a final training session tomorrow and then head home."
