Last season’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund dropped to last place in the Bundesliga yesterday after their 2-0 loss at Eintracht Fran-kurt.
Beleaguered Dortmund hit the woodwork and wasted a bagful of chances in a largely one-sided game but could do nothing to come back from a fifth-minute goal by Bundesliga top scorer Alexander Meier.
Dortmund instantly took control after the setback but missed chance after chance with Henrikh Mkhitaryan failing twice to score from a clear position.
Dortmund could not even score when coach Juergen Klopp brought on a second striker in Adrian Ramos as the Colombian striker missed a share of opportunities.
Instead it was Frankfurt who benefited from another defensive error, a mix-up between Matthias Ginter and keeper Roman Weidenfeller, with the defender heading into the path of Haris Seferovic for a simple tap-in.
