BERLIN (AP) — Ritsu Doan scored for Eintracht Frankfurt to end its four-game winless run across all competitions with a 1-0 Bundesliga win over Augsburg on Saturday.

The Japan forward took the ball past two Augsburg defenders and unleashed his shot before he was closed down by two more. The deflection from a retreating defender took the ball beyond Finn Dahmen in the Augsburg goal in the 68th minute, setting off relief-tinged celebrations around the stadium.

Noahkai Banks briefly spoiled the mood when he equalized late, but the goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR check. It was the second goal that was ruled out for offside for the visitors in the game.

The win lifted Frankfurt to fifth before Bayer Leverkusen faced Cologne in their derby later.
