Berlin, Jan. 27 -- Hugo Ekitike's brace wasn't enough as third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt failed to close the gap on second-placed Bayer Leverkusen after Hoffenheim snatched a late 2-2 draw thanks to Adam Hlozek's stoppage-time equalizer at the closer of the 19th round.
The Eagles took control from the kick-off on Sunday, but it was the hosts who created the first clear chance of the game when Adam Hlozek hit the woodwork with a left-footed shot from 14 meters in the sixth minute.
Hoffenheim defended deep and looked for counterattacks, while Frankfurt couldn't make much of their possession. In the 24th minute, the VAR stepped in and awarded Frankfurt a penalty for foul play when Kevin Akpoguma accidentally tripped Ekitike in the box.
