Japanese midfielder Daichi Kamada’s second-half equaliser dealt a blow to RB Leipzig’s Bundesliga title hopes on Sunday as the main pretenders to Bayern Munich’s throne were held 1-1 at home to top-four rivals Eintracht Frankfurt.
Kamada cancelled out Emil Forsberg’s opener to consolidate Frankfurt’s place in the top four and see second-placed Leipzig slip four points behind league leaders Bayern.
Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp denied Justin Kluivert with a smart save early on, while Leipzig captain Willi Orban had a goal ruled out for offside on 14 minutes.
The hosts finally broke through just after the break, Forsberg smashing in the rebound after Trapp saved another a long-range effort from Kluivert.
Yet Kamada fired in a smart half-volley shortly after the hour-mark to bring Frankfurt level.
Japanese stars also hogged the headlines in Sunday’s earlier game as goals from Ritsu Doan and Masaya Okugawa fired minnows Arminia Bielefeld to a surprise 2-1 win away to Bayer Leverkusen.
Okugawa’s debut Bundesliga goal lifted Bielefeld out of the bottom three for the first time since January and dealt an untimely blow to Leverkusen’s Champions League qualification hopes.
“To score my first Bundesliga goal in such an important win is brilliant,” Okugawa told broadcaster DAZN.
Asked whether he would be having a drink to celebrate, the Japanese replied: “No! I don't like beer!”
While Arminia now sit one point clear of the drop zone, Leverkusen have dropped to sixth and are four points adrift of the top four. (AFP)
