Despite having 60% possession and completing 85% of their passes, Dortmund struggled to break down Frankfurt's compact defensive shape.
The tactical key to Frankfurt's performance was their ability to disrupt Dortmund's buildup play through aggressive pressing. They won 14 fouls compared to just 6 for the visitors, forcing Dortmund to play a more direct game. However, this high-intensity approach ultimately cost them, as Ebnoutalib's late goal was canceled out by Chukwuemeka's equalizer in stoppage time.
