Intensity Peaks – 25 Shots and VAR Controversy

From the opening whistle, intensity defined proceedings. Frankfurt, sitting 7th with 21 points from 12 matches, dominated with 54 per cent possession and unleashed a barrage of 15 corners.

The turning point came from the bench: Batshuayi, introduced in the 62nd minute, levelled in the 90th. VAR confirmed a controversial penalty in the 90+3rd, but Batshuayi's regulation strike was the upset factor that rewrote the narrative. Frankfurt had fired 25 shots; Wolfsburg managed 10 – yet balance only arrived in the dying seconds.

Wolfsburg Fights, Frankfurt Shows Mettle

The visitors played with four yellows and three offsides infractions, showing both aggression and fragility. Yannick Gerhardt (7.6 rating) battled to plug gaps but couldn't prevent the leveller.
