Mijat Gacinovic hit the equalizer as Eintracht Frankfurt drew 1-1 with Nurnberg in the Bundesliga relegation playoff first leg.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Nurnberg played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the Bundesliga relegation playoff on Thursday.
Nurnberg, which missed out by just two points to Red Bull Leipzig in the race for an automatic promotion spot from the 2.Bundesliga, was second best for much of the first half but took the lead through an own goal from Marco Russ just before the break.
Nurnberg applied pressure looking for a second, but Mijat Gacinovic struck an equalizer just over an hour in to breathe life back into the tie.
