Confirmed development
Eintracht Frankfurt beat Energie Cottbus 1-0 at the Waldstadion on 9 February 2001, with Horst Heldt scoring the only goal in the 65th minute. The teams had reached half-time without a goal, leaving the opening match of Bundesliga matchday 21 to be decided after the interval.
Details
The DFB match record lists an attendance of 20,000. Oka Nikolov started in goal for Frankfurt opposite Cottbus goalkeeper Tomislav Piplica, with Rolf Dohmen and Eduard Geyer in charge of the respective teams. Christoph Preuss replaced Markus Loesch before Heldt's breakthrough, while the visitors subsequently introduced Moussa Latoundji and Toni Micevski.
Context and dates
Both sides had won their preceding league fixtures: Frankfurt had beaten Hansa Rostock 2-0 away, while Cottbus had defeated Schalke 4-1 at home. This meeting therefore brought a second successive league victory for Frankfurt but interrupted Cottbus's response from the previous round. The historical archive date is the exact match day verified by the DFB, not a claimed publication date for its retrospective record.
