Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos, filling in for the injured Kevin Trapp, didn't look good on either occasion.
When Plzen scored a 3-3 equaliser in stoppage time, the Brazilian goalkeeper wasn't there to cover the net after being knocked down in a goalmouth scramble.
"It was a slapstick goal. But that's the way he plays," said Eintracht Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller in a post-match interview.
"In the end, it might not have been the best decision, but it's a learning process for him as well, and it shows that not everything goes the way you want it to."
“It was also a bit of a damper for him today and now it's about showing a good reaction.”
Next up for Kaua Santos and Eintracht is Sunday's match against Holstein Kiel.
