Dortmund edged past Frankfurt with a 2-1 win on Saturday, keeping their hopes of a top-three finish alive.

The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams showing excellent attacking prowess. However, it was Dortmund who emerged victorious, thanks to a well-taken goal from forward Julian Weigl.

Weigl's strike gave Dortmund the lead just before half-time, and they never looked back. They continued to create chances throughout the second half, but Frankfurt could not find the back of the net.

Despite the loss, Frankfurt manager Niko Kovac remained upbeat about his team's performance. "I am proud of my players," he said. "They fought hard and showed great spirit."

Dortmund coach Lucien Favre also praised his team's effort. "It was a tough game, but we were able to get the result we wanted," he said. "We need to keep playing like this if we want to stay in the top three."

With just six games left in the season, Dortmund now sit in third place, four points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Frankfurt, meanwhile, remain in eighth place, 14 points adrift of the top three.

Both teams will be looking to bounce back in their final six matches of the season, with a chance to secure a top-three finish for next season. It promises to be a thrilling end to the Bundesliga campaign.
