00:00Their 17th Premier League defeat of the season was their warm-up for this
00:05defining evening in Germany for Tottenham Hotspur and indeed for the Reds.
00:10Robin Koch also won the score sheet in that game and they are two of the four in this starting
00:14line-up that will miss a possible semi-final if they're booked enough. They've traveled to
00:19Germany without their captain Hünn Minson, so a start for on loan by Munich attacker Matthijs Tell.
00:26He was a scorer in the defeat at Wolves in the Premier League at the weekend. Other than that
00:30it's the same side as started the first leg so just a second start since October for the back four along
00:35with Guillermo Vicaria. Tottenham Hotspur's latest domestic slip means they are now the 15th best
00:47side in the Premier League and here they are in the backyard of the third best side in the Bundesliga.
00:54And one of their top marksmen, Ugo Ekertike, who showed in the first leg he's the man for the big
01:02occasion and he's the man to make a difference. The player on loan from the Bundesliga leaders
01:09Bayern Munich playing his football in North London with Tottenham Hotspur the second half of this season.
01:14Can he make the difference for the men in green?
01:24Well, no one has come here on one in this competition this season. Five games played in the UEFA Europa League for Eintracht Frankfurt.
01:32Down with the corner.
01:38Tottenham Hotspur got it away but only as far as Kürtse.
01:40Kürtse!
01:40Kürtse!
01:42Unfortunately for Guillermo Vicario that was straight at him.
01:47And Devent across there to try and negate his threat.
01:50But Bahoya has it in.
01:54And the header from the substitute, Baris Shaibi, is the third effort on target so far for Eintracht Frankfurt.
02:02But Vicario has been able to save all three so far.
02:06Romero, Bergvall couldn't hold it.
02:26This is Bentancur.
02:31Udoggi.
02:36And Matthijs in the corner.
02:55Which draws the save at full stretch from Khao Santos.
03:06Romero slides it on.
03:11Santos has come out.
03:12Big collision there.
03:14Referees allowing player to go on.
03:16Solanke couldn't get it under his belt.
03:19But the injury, I think it's to Madison, indeed it is.
03:21Flattered into there.
03:25Oh, that's a nasty one.
03:28He was trying to head it on.
03:29And he's going to go to the screen here.
03:38Davide Massa, advised by his compatriot Alejandro Di Paolo.
03:44But this one deserves another look.
03:46And the ball is nowhere near Santos when he's running out.
03:59He's clattered into Madison.
04:01You can see why Alejandro Di Paolo feels this is worth another look.
04:07And this is going to be a penalty to Tottenham Hotspur.
04:15The cheer you can hear comes from there.
04:173,000 travelling fans.
04:20The yellow card is out to show to the young Brazilian goalkeeper.
04:23So Solanke to give Tottenham Hotspur the lead and the tie.
04:30Scores.
04:35A show of character and a show of strength from a player
04:39who hasn't scored in his last eight games.
04:42He stepped up when Tottenham Hotspur needed him.
04:45And just before half-time, Eintracht Frankfurt 0, Tottenham Hotspur 1.
04:56A puff of the cheeks, a deep breath.
05:00And straight down the middle from Dominic Solanke.
05:04As Santos went early.
05:05Feels like a major moment, but obviously there was something said or done by
05:16a particular member of the backroom staff.
05:19And a feisty end to a first half.
05:22We might have expected Eintracht Frankfurt to come out and score early on,
05:26but they were unable to do so.
05:29James Madison forced off after that,
05:31coming together with the Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper.
05:35No further half-time substitutions to tell you about.
05:44Shaiby takes it on, and that was close.
05:48Farris Shaiby giving Chiamo Vicario plenty to think about there.
05:59He curled it just a little bit too far.
06:01This will be a great angle that tells us...
06:05Farris Shaiby gets it in, keep a thought about coming.
06:13And Christian remaining Tottenham's lead on the night.
06:21Santos in no-man's land, if that was on target...
06:23We're approaching the finale, quarter of an hour to go.
06:26Chanuzun, this has come to Christiansen.
06:28Across the face of goal, Vicario saves.
06:32Chanuzun, Eketike contesting.
06:36Tottenham can't get it out.
06:37A little bit of fortune with the way it came to the biggest night of the season so far.
06:51Christiansen.
06:54Eketike, Chanuzun, it's come to Christiansen.
07:00It's all coming to Christiansen.
07:03Cool head, he just heads for the corner.
07:06Well, Tottenham Hotspur needed a night of nights.
07:09They needed to find their best when the pressure was on.
07:13And they've done just that.
07:16They've come to Frankfurt and won.
07:18Hold tight for alone four or four.
07:24Which I guess, folks?
07:25Are they trying to want them to get back?
07:27They must be like aë‹¤ê³ down.
07:27What does they do at the end of the season?
07:29They must say that they have mentally Moisés and them.
07:30Which the Romeo has to go through?
07:32They must be like a ATT.
07:33If Lee can stop there, noja, okay, Little Man.
07:34The yeah!
07:36And our attention is what they do.
07:40Yo, this is a hero.
07:41Oh, this is the next moment of the marathon
07:45who is the Daniel wavelength.
07:47Yeah!
