FRANKFURT, Germany — Eintracht Frankfurt has left out Omar Marmoush and still beaten Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to heap more pressure on Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin in the Bundesliga. Marmoush's usual strike partner Hugo Ekitike opened the scoring as third-place Frankfurt moved to six points off Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich. Oscar Hojlund made sure of the win with a second goal on a breakaway in added time. Dortmund is 10th in the Bundesliga and has lost all three of its games in the new year. Marmoush joined Frankfurt's team on the field after the game to acknowledge the cheers of the home crowd in what seemed like a farewell.
