Can Uzun's 81st-minute goal took Eintracht Frankfurt to a 1-1 home draw with Wolfsburg on Sunday, cancelling out an embarrassing Tuta own goal scored early in the second half.

Frankfurt looked tired after Thursday's 2-0 Europa League loss at Roma, lacking the fluency and bite which has propelled them into the top four this season.

Five minutes into the second half, Frankfurt and Tuta made a meal of a less than dangerous long ball, with the Brazilian unaware the lightning-fast Mohamed Amoura was approaching.

Under Amoura's pressure, Tuta tipped the ball past goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and into his own net.

With nine minutes remaining and the hosts on the attack, 19-year-old midfielder Jean-Matteo Bahoya whipped in a cross to Uzun, also 19.

The Turkey midfielder jumped highest, heading in from close range to level the scores.

Frankfurt looked more likely to score a winner in the dying stages as the game grew increasingly wild, Uzun lashing just over in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

The Wolves would however hold on to claim a valuable point, climbing above Borussia Dortmund into 10th but just four shy of fourth place in a congested Bundesliga mid-table.

Frankfurt's point takes them five clear of fourth-placed RB Leipzig, who were held to a scoreless draw at Union Berlin on Saturday.

Later on Sunday, Bayer Leverkusen can close the gap to league leaders Bayern Munich to six points with a win at home against lowly Hoffenheim.
