Silva netted his third league goal of the campaign in first-half stoppage time, but Ondrej Duda equalised seven minutes into the second half to earn Köln their first point of 2020/21.
Silva drilled a powerful shot straight at the Billy Goats’ custodian shortly before the half-hour mark, but the Portugal international was presented with a golden opportunity to give the Eagles the lead in first-half stoppage time when Daichi Kamada was felled in the area by Sebastiaan Bornauw. The 24-year-old kept his composure from the spot, firing low into the bottom right corner to put Eintracht ahead.
There was no let-up for the hosts at the start of the second half, with Kamada blazing over the crossbar from a good position within minutes of the restart. That miss proved costly, however, as the unmarked Duda latched onto Kingsley Ehizibue’s precise cross to fire Köln level against the run of play.
It could have got worse for Eintracht ten minutes later when Duda connected with Ismail Jakobs’ delivery, but Kevin Trapp produced a stunning save to tip the Slovakian’s header over the crossbar. Bas Dost shot straight at Horn and second-half substitute Younes had another effort deflected wide as the Eagles looked to regain the initiative in the closing stages, but there was to be no late twist.
