Bundesliga: Eintracht Frankfurt draw 4-4 with Hertha Berlin

Eintracht Frankfurt grabbed a last-gasp point in extraordinary circumstances, sharing eight goals with Hertha Berlin after falling three goals behind.

Alexander Meier was once again Frankfurt's hero with two goals in stoppage time to salvage a point in a game Frankfurt were chasing from start to finish.

Anthony Brooks, Anis Ben-Hatira and Julian Schieber fired Hertha into a three-goal lead before Stefan Aigner and Haris Seferovic brought Frankfurt back into the game.

Peter Niemeyer added a fourth for Hertha and the game looked to be over until Meier's late brace earned Thomas Schaaf's men the unlikeliest of points.

There was no indication of what was to come as Frankfurt laid siege to the Hertha goal early on.

Their failure to turn their superiority into goals came back to haunt them as Brooks turned in Ronny's free-kick to give Hertha the lead and take the wind from Frankfurt's sails.

Ben-Hatira headed in another Ronny cross before Schieber finished clinically to make it three after 37 minutes.

Frankfurt managed to pull a goal back just before the break with Aigner converting Seferovic's pass, but not even the most optimistic of Frankfurt fans would have given them much of a chance.

That nevertheless started to look quite likely when Seferovic headed Makoto Hasebe's cross in, and with the fans now right behind them, Frankfurt again built up a head of steam.

Like in the first half, though, they were unable to make their superiority count and they found themselves two goals behind again with 10 minutes remaining when Niemeyer converted Ben-Hatira's pass from close range.

Frankfurt's body language suggested the game was over, but Meier had other ideas.

He headed in Anderson's cross as the game entered into stoppage time and, less than 60 seconds later, the comeback was completed by the league's top-scorer.

Frankfurt even had chances to add to the drama by finding a winner, but the fans in the Waldstadion nevertheless got their money's worth in a draw which had everything.
