The game had barely settled, and Frankfurt looked sharp — dominating possession, the ball zipping from flank to flank as the Deutsche Bank Park roared them on.
Union Berlin were sitting deep, their three-man backline already under immense pressure.
"Frankfurt are pushing hard here, you can feel the intent! The crowd urging them forward!"
In the 15th minute, they finally cracked.
The ball worked its way out to the right side, where Chaibi picked it up, isolated against Leite.
"Chaibi now, looking to deliver… tries the cross—"
But Leite threw himself in front, blocking the attempt. The ball spun awkwardly out to the edge of the box, where Uzun reacted first.
"Uzun! Edge of the box! Against Khedira—"
The teenager feinted left, then executed a sharp La Croqueta, slipping the ball past Khedira to his right foot.
"Ohhh that's silky from Uzun! That's the Lukas move, right there!"
