He stood over the ball for a fraction of a second, just long enough to draw them in. Kohr leaned forward. Amiri took another step.
Then, with his second touch, Lukas lifted the ball delicately over both of them.
A chipped pass, perfectly weighted, arcing into the space behind the defense.
"Knauff is in there—"
Knauff had already taken off. He burst through the right channel, untouched, drove to the edge of the box, and cut the ball back across the face of goal without breaking stride.
"EKITIKEEEEE!!!"
Ekitike met it first time.
Side-foot. Clean. Ruthless.
Riess had no chance.
The net rippled, and suddenly the away end exploded.
"Against the run of play, Eintracht Frankfurt is in front! What a pass by Brandt... He waits for the press and releases it at the perfect time. Time and time again, this kid is proving to be the real deal."
