Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 Borussia Dortmund: Aigner the hero again as BVB's challenge ends

Stefan Aigner netted a vital winner to boost Eintracht Frankfurt's survival hopes as Borussia Dortmund's title challenge came to an end.

Eintracht Frankfurt took a major step toward Bundesliga survival by recording a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund, which will finish the season as runner-up after Bayern Munich was crowned champion on Saturday.

Dortmund needed to win and hope Bayern suffered a shock loss at Ingolstadt to keep its title challenge alive, but Pep Guardiola's team sealed its fourth championship in succession with a 2-1 triumph.

And even if the Bavarian giants had slipped up, BVB could not do what was required.
