In a stunning turn of events, Qarabag came from behind to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in their Champions League match. With just seconds left on the clock, the Azerbaijani side scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner to deal Frankfurt a crushing blow and all but guarantee their own place in the Champions League play-offs.
The visitors had been in control for much of the contest, with Frankfurt's clinical finishing having them 2-1 up at halftime. However, Qarabag refused to give up, launching a furious second-half resurgence that ultimately paid off in the most dramatic fashion possible.
As the clock ticked down, Frankfurt's hopes of securing a playoff spot began to slip away, and it was only a matter of time before the home team capitalised on their opponents' fatigue. And then, in a moment that will be remembered for ages to come, Qarabag's substitute striker popped up from the edge of the box to score the winning goal, sending the home crowd into raptures.
For Frankfurt, the result was a bitter pill to swallow, particularly given the significance of the match. A defeat now looks likely to cost them their place in the Champions League play-offs, and will surely leave them feeling gutted and frustrated. Meanwhile, Qarabag's victory has sent shockwaves throughout the footballing world, and is sure to be remembered for its sheer drama and unpredictability.

. They were on top and thought they had it in the bag, but Qarabag showed them what's what. I mean, I know they're from Azerbaijan and all, but come on... they're not exactly the most experienced team in the world 
. And now Frankfurt is toast, their playoff hopes all but gone 
. It's just so predictable when teams get complacent like that. They should've seen it coming but noooo... they just got caught sleeping 
.
what a comeback by Qarabag!!! I'm literally screaming at my screen, they deserve all the cheers 
️
. Frankfurt was in control but you can never count out underdogs, right? That last minute winner is gonna be etched in history books for ages 
. Poor Frankfurt, I feel bad for them 
, they must be gutted to have missed out on the playoffs. But hey, Qarabag's victory is a testament to their grit and determination 
. They should be super proud of themselves 
.
have u ever driven thru the alps at sunset? it gives u chills 
and now Frankfurt is left with a bitter taste in their mouths, wondering what could've been. I mean, they were up 2-1 at halftime but couldn't keep the pressure on? it's like they ran out of steam or something. And that last minute winner from Qarabag... talk about drama 
Frankfurt was totally in control till the last minute...and it's just so frustrating to watch a team give up like that 
Qarabag started playing way better, scoring back to back goals & putting pressure on Frankfurt. That substitute striker is like a superhero coming in from the edge of the box & scoring the winner 
can't even imagine how heartbreaking it must be for them right now 
. And to think they thought they had it in the bag at halftime 
Qarabag was on FIRE 
anyway, that last minute winner was INSANE 
. I mean, we all know that football is an emotional game, but this level of comeback is insane! The fact that their substitute striker pops up in stoppage time to score the winner is just wild
