Borussia Dortmund beat Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 in the Bundesliga. Starting in a back three, Ramy Bensebaïni, captain of the Algeria national team, kept a clean sheet, while Farès Chaïbi, Frankfurt’s attacking midfielder, started the match but was very quiet.
Two Algeria internationals faced each other in the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund won 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt and, according to La Gazette du Fennec, the evening mainly benefited Ramy Bensebaïni. The 31-year-old defender, captain of the national team, started in a BVB back three.
For Farès Chaïbi, Frankfurt’s attacking midfielder, the assessment is duller. He started the match but was very quiet on the pitch, again according to the same outlet, which does not go into further detail on his performance.
A convincing first start
This match marked Ramy Bensebaïni’s very first Bundesliga start of the season, reports La Gazette du Fennec. With 89 caps for Algeria, the player delivered a performance judged complete, rewarded with a clean sheet.
The Algerian outlet notes Bensebaïni’s rigour in duels and the precision of his distribution against Frankfurt’s attackers. These are journalistic assessments, not official data, but they sketch the portrait of a player who held his own.
La Gazette du Fennec believes Bensebaïni thus confirms his return to favour and his status as a leader in the dressing room.
Chaïbi quiet in a difficult context
In the opposing camp, Farès Chaïbi did not enjoy the same success. Handed a starting place, he was very quiet on the pitch, according to La Gazette du Fennec.
The context does not help. At the end of September, Chaïbi was coming off a difficult performance with the national team against Burundi (2-2), recalls Algerie360.
Dortmund consolidate their position
This win consolidates Dortmund in the upper reaches of the Bundesliga table, according to La Gazette du Fennec. Three points and a defence that did not crack.
The match was also a direct confrontation between two major Algeria internationals, highlights Algerie360, ahead of the November international break.
The Algeria national team gathering is scheduled for November 2026, under the guidance of the Fennecs’ staff.
