Eintracht Frankfurt DFB-Pokal opening round

Overview

Eintracht Frankfurt began its DFB-Pokal campaign against fifth-division SC St. Tönis at the Grotenburg-Stadion in Krefeld. The club entered the fixture under pressure following a 0-7 pre-season loss to Brentford and faced roster challenges, including the absence of defender Nnamdi Collins. Frankfurt secured a historic 11-0 victory in the opening round, which set a new record for the highest halftime score in the competition’s history after leading 10-0 at the break. This performance also stands as the largest victory in the club's history and served as a strong response to their recent friendly loss. The match marked the competitive debut of returning head coach Adi Hütter. Goal scorers included Jonathan Burkardt, who recorded a hat-trick, Can Uzun, who scored twice and provided three assists, Robin Koch, Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab, Elias Baum, Younes Ebnoutalib, Mario Götze, and Fares Chaibi. Following the match, coach Adi Hütter emphasized that the win was “thoroughly deserved” and noted that the team would shift focus to their upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Union Berlin.

The opening round of the 2026/27 DFB-Pokal featured several other high-scoring matches and dramatic penalty shootouts. VfB Stuttgart secured a 4-0 win over Hansa Rostock, led by a hat-trick from Dzenan Pejcinovic. Other decisive results included FSV Mainz 05's 9-0 victory over VfB Krieschow and FC Augsburg's 2-0 win against FC Energie Cottbus. Several matches were decided via penalty shootouts, including 1. FC Nürnberg’s 5-4 victory over Viktoria Köln, Hertha BSC’s 4-2 win against 1. FC Saarbrücken, and an upset where Arminia Bielefeld was eliminated by SG Sonnenhof Großaspach. Additionally, Heidenheim suffered a 5-2 defeat against fourth-tier SSV Jeddeloh II.
