Qarabağ and Eintracht Frankfurt are locked at 1-1 in their UEFA Champions League Group Stage clash in Baku after a fast-paced first 10 minutes.
The home side took the lead in the fourth minute when Camilo Durán converted from close range, putting Qarabağ ahead early in the match. Frankfurt responded six minutes later, with Can Uzun equalising with a left-footed strike from the centre of the box. A series of early set-pieces and fouls set the tone in the opening stages.
The two clubs have met only a handful of times in their histories, with previous competitive meetings dating back to the 2013 Europa League qualifying round, where Frankfurt advanced 4-1 on aggregate across two legs. Qarabağ have yet to record a win against the German side in recorded head-to-head encounters.
The match at Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium began with high intensity. In the third minute Qarabağ won a corner after pressure in the final third, and the hosts forced Frankfurt into defensive set-plays in the opening exchanges. The early goals underline the attacking intentions from both sides as they vie for crucial points in the league phase.
Both teams named their starting line-ups before kick-off. Qarabağ featured Mateusz Kochalski in goal alongside defenders Mateus Silva and Marko Janković, with Elvin Jafarguliyev and Kevin Medina among the midfield and attacking options. Frankfurt lined up with Kauã Santos in goal and key players including Robin Koch and Ritsu Doan in their XI.
Swiss referee Sandro Schärer is officiating the encounter, which forms part of Matchday 7 in the UEFA Champions League league phase. Qarabağ, aiming to finish their home campaign strongly, currently sit mid-table in the group, while Frankfurt are seeking to improve their continental form after a challenging run of results.
