Eintracht Frankfurt won the Bundesliga game at Borussia Mönchengladbach 6: 4 (5: 0). Robin Koch (11th, 47th), Ansgar Knauff (15th), Jonathan Burkardt (35.), Farès Chaïbi (39.) and Can Uzun (45.+1) met for the SBU. Jens Castrop (72nd), Haris Tabaković (78th), Yannik Engelhardt (83.) and Grant-Leon Ranos (90.+9) were successful for the foals.
Borussia went into the game against Frankfurt with a heavy mortgage – since eleven Bundesliga games without a win, even the crash threatened to end with a defeat. For Eugen Polanski it was the first home game as a coach of the foals. The Eintracht, on the other hand, wanted to find the lane back in the league after two defeats in the league. Historically, the Borussia Park was a good place for the SGE: Nowhere did the Hesse won more often (14 wins) and scored more away gates (72).

Frankfurt offensive fireworks in halftime one
The Frankfurters started aggressive pressing and immediately took control. In the 11th minute, Robin Koch headed for the lead after a corner from Farès Chaïbi. Just four minutes later, Ansgar Knauff increased to 2-0 after Ritsu Dōan had brought a free kick to the penalty area. The foals found no remedy against the playful guests.
In the 35th minute, Jonathan Burkardt further expanded the lead after passing from Can Uzun. Polanski reacted with an early dual change, but Frankfurt remained unimpressed: Chaïbi scored 4: 0 (39th), before Uzun met 5-0 breaks in added time – a historical halftime score for the harmony after 45 minutes, which has never led higher in Germany’s top division.

Gladbach catching up is late
After the break, Frankfurt continued exactly where they stopped: Koch scored his second goal to 6: 0 (47th). The game seemed decided, but the hosts did not give up. Jens Castrop headed for 1: 6 (72nd) after the flank of Joe Scally. Substitute Haris Tabaković continued to shorten the head of Luca Netz (78.). Yannik Engelhardt scored the 3: 6 (83rd), and substitute Grant-Leon Ranos and his header set the end of a crazy game to 4: 6 (90.+9).
Despite the impressive chase, the foals were no longer enough to turn the game. The foals are last after the 5th matchday – for the first time again after almost ten years.
