    GOAL! Aberdeen 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurtpublished at 18:26 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Luis 'Duk' Lopes

    Hello! Where did that come from?

    Out of nowhere, Aberdeen put a few passes together and Shayden Morris puts one on a plate for Duk to tap in a third goal in as many European games.

    Slobodan Rubezic makes a good block to deny Paxten Aaronson and the corner is cleared.

  4. GREAT SAVE!published at 18:24 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Aberdeen 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Eintracht forward Hauge bursts into the Aberdeen box far too easily before firing a shot to the near post.

    But Kelle Roos improvises and saves with his... chest.

    You get a slight sense Frankfurt are starting to get a little bit frustrated.

    A few long balls and wayward passes now from the visitors.

    This is how it played out for periods in Germany, and just a few signs the home side are rousing in to life in an attacking sense.

    A rare burst forward from Aberdeen ends with James McGarry's cross reaching the back post.

    Jack Milne is outjumped though.

    Aberdeen are taking some pelters for their defensive set-up, but Eintracht could be be offering more as well.

    With so much of the ball they've created very little.

  8. 'Mass defence'published at 18:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Former Aberdeen defender on BBC Sportsound

    Aberdeen are well-organised, but it really is a case of mass defence.

    So, when you do have so many bodies back, it's difficult for the opposition to break you down.

    Zero shots and 20% possession for Aberdeen.

    Passive.

    As you can gather from the pundits, this is... not great.

    Rory Loy
    Former Rangers striker on Sportsound

    It has been a little bit disappointing.

    Aberdeen have defended pretty resolutely so far, which they have done throughout the competition, but they have also carried an attacking threat which we have not seen so far tonight.

    I'm looking to see a little bit more offensively from Aberdeen, Duk looks isolated.

  12. Retreat, retreatpublished at 18:09 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen defender on BBC Sportsound

    It just feels like a matter of time until Frankfurt get the opening goal.

    Aberdeen haven't taken part in the game.

    There has been no press, they've been retreating back.

    Just the 81% possession for Eintracht so far.

    They've been absolutely dominant at Pittodrie.

    The way this is going so far, it does feel being only a matter of time before Frankfurt take the lead.

    The pattern is similar to the one in Germany a few months ago when Eintracht dominated early on before the Dons gradually grew into things.

    The home fans will be hoping something similar happens tonight.

    Former Motherwell captain on TNT Sports

    Frankfurt are getting closer. That's another let off for Aberdeen.

    You almost get the feeling that Aberdeen are just waiting to concede. They're not shuffling across or putting any pressure on the ball.

    This is almost like a friendly.

    Aberdeen can't get a touch.

  17. CLOSE!published at 18:04 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Aberdeen 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Eintracht wing-back Nkounkou charges into the left of the Aberdeen box and leathers one to the far post.

    It just bends wide though after taking the slightest of touches.

  18. CLOSE!published at 18:02 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2023

    Aberdeen 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Eintracht striker Ngankam gets behind the Aberdeen defence but drags a shot about a yard wide of the far post.

    Willie Miller

    There's nothing at stake here for Aberdeen, yet there is still such a low block. It's not very entertaining.

    I think the fans would have hoped for a little bit more than what they are seeing.

    HJK have a surprise lead away at PAOK.

    That means Aberdeen are currently bottom of the group, as it stands.
