Japan midfielder Makoto Hasebe reached a milestone when he made his 250th appearance in the German top flight Sunday, but Eintracht Frankfurt was beaten by Augsburg 3-0 away for its first loss in 2018.
Hasebe, who is in his 11th season in the Bundesliga, played the full 90 minutes for the fourth straight game but Austrian forward Michael Gregoritsch spoiled his big day when he took advantage of a positioning mistake by the Frankfurt captain to score the fixture's second goal.
Koo Ja-cheol opened the scoring at WWK Arena for Augsburg in the 19th minute, Gregoritsch netted the second in the 76th and 20-year-old Marco Richter fired home on the 89th for his first league goal.
