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.
