The Eintracht Frankfurt team did not remain silent trying to reply. Makoto Hasebe fired in the 21st minute, but Hradecky pushed it away. A minute later, Frankfurt then equalized. Receiving a through pass from Djibril Sow, Amin Younes went head-to-head against Hradecky. Calmly, one kick from his right foot managed to send the ball into the left corner of the goal.

After that, although in a 1-1 position, the Leverkusen team tried to excel again. Patrik Schick got a chance with a free kick in the 33rd minute, but the execution was still not on target.

But again Eintracht Frankfurt turned to press through Filip Kostic in the 38th minute, but his long shot was also off the mark. Something similar happened to Younes' shot a minute later. 1-1 score lasted until the break.
