Eintracht Frankfurt's Ajdin Hrustic scored an 86th-minute goal to rescue a 1-1 draw against visiting Mainz 05 on Sunday and retains some hope of a top-four finish and a spot in next season's Champions League.

The result meant Eintracht dropped to fifth but made sure second-placed RB Leipzig was guaranteed a spot in the Champions League.

Karim Onisiwo rifled in a low shot in the 11th minute to put Mainz in front against its lacklustre host.
