Malmö FF eliminated by Eintracht Frankfurt in Champions League qualifiers

Malmö FF's Champions League journey came to a sudden halt in Frankfurt. But the European dream is still alive for the team from Skåne.

MFF can thank goalkeeper Zecira Musovic for the 2-0 loss.

It was never really close to the light blues beating Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League qualifiers.

It looked like Malmö would keep a clean sheet throughout the first half, thanks in large part to several hard-fought saves from Musovic. But with just five minutes left in the half, Frankfurt captain Laura Freigang slotted home from a corner to make it 1-0.

Malmö pushed forward in the second half and created a couple of chances to equalise.

But with a quarter of an hour left in the match, the scorer of the first goal put the final nail in MFF's coffin when she made it 2-0.

Malmö's Champions League campaign is over, but there is still hope of European football. They now enter the second qualifying round of the Europa Cup qualifiers, which begin in September.
