Kickoff Season Victory for Eintracht
In a thrilling opening match of the 2025 Bundesliga season, Eintracht Frankfurt showcased their dominance at home against Werder Bremen, securing a 4-1 victory in front of a crowd of 59,500 spectators.
The home team made a clear statement right from the start, with striker Jean-Mattéo Bahoya scoring the first goal of the match just three minutes into the game. National player Jonathan Burkardt came close to doubling the lead after a corner, only to see his shot hit the post.
Trainer Dino Toppmöller's team continued to control the game, and Bahoya added his second goal of the game in the 25th minute, effectively putting Frankfurt in the driver's seat. Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, formerly of Werder Bremen, made his debut for Eintracht Frankfurt against his former club during this period.
Bremen managed to get on the scoreboard after the break, with Justin Njinmah scoring a quick counterattack goal in the 48th minute. However, Frankfurt was not to be outdone, as Ansgar Knauff sealed the victory with a well-worked counterattack goal in the 70th minute.
