FRANKFURT, Germany (Reuters) - Eintracht Frankfurt's Ajdin Hrustic scored an 86th-minute goal to rescue a 1-1 draw against visiting Mainz 05 on Sunday and retain 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 were guaranteed a spot in the Champions League.

Frankfurt rarely threatened and had to wait until five minutes from the end when Australian Hrustic's first shot was blocked but the midfielder, lying on the ground, spectacularly chipped his rebound over the keeper for the equaliser. Bayern Munich on Saturday clinched their ninth successive league title with a 6-0 demolition of Borussia Moenchengladbach leaving them 10 points clear of Leipzig, who have 64.
