Eintracht Frankfurt Crushes FC Gießen 7-1 in Preseason Friendly; Burkardt Scores Rabona Stunner
In their first preseason friendly under returning coach Adi Hütter, Eintracht Frankfurt defeated FC Gießen 7-1 in front of nearly 5,000 fans. The match was highlighted by Jonathan Burkardt's spectacular rabona goal just before halftime, which Hütter called a potential Bundesliga goal of the year contender. Younes Ebnoutalib opened the scoring in the 11th minute against his former club and later assisted Marvin Dills. After a complete line change at halftime, Malik Pimpong scored a brace on his debut, with Love Arrhov also netting. Gießen scored a consolation goal through Sercan Süsin. Hütter expressed satisfaction with the first 65-70 minutes but criticized the team's drop in intensity late in the second half. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya missed the match due to minor adductor pain but is expected to return to training soon.
