Frankfurt go third
Eintracht Frankfurt went third in the Bundesliga with a 3-0 victory over 10-man Mainz on Tuesday, their first win in four on the final round of 2016 matches.
There was a minute's silence, followed by loud applause, before kick-off at each of the four grounds to pay tribute to the victims of Monday's terror attack at a Berlin Christmas market.
In Frankfurt, a goal by 18-year-old midfielder Aymen Barkok and two from Sweden striker Branimir Hrgota sealed Eintracht's win.
"I'm happy -- with the result and the way the season has gone," said Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac.
"Mainz were a constant threat and we have to thank (goalkeeper) Lukas Hradecky.
Hrgota gave the hosts an early lead following a dream 50-yard pass from centre-back David Abraham.
Mainz had Jhon Cordoba sent off on 55 minutes for stamping on Abraham's foot after a tackle.
Frankfurt capped the win when Barkok came off the bench to net before Hrgota added the third.
Borussia Dortmund, who were missing suspended Germany winger Marco Reus, climbed one place to fourth following a 1-1 draw with Augsburg.
