Two goals in five second-half minutes from Alexander Meier maintained Eintracht Frankfurt's unbeaten start to the season and gave them a 2-1 victory over Freiburg at the Waldstadion.

Max Kruse gave the visitors a shock lead in the 50th minute after Christian Streich's side had spent much of the game defending.

Meier had a goal ruled out for offside, but there was no doubt over his third and fourth goals of the season, which earned the home side a fifth win in six games. Karim Guede made matters worse for the visitors when he was given his marching orders in stoppage time.

The win moved Frankfurt, the surprise package of the season, five points clear of Dortmund in second and two points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
