Hoffenheim suffers a loss to Frankfort in the recent match

In the highly anticipated Bundesliga season opener, Eintracht Frankfurt secured their first two wins in 13 years against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. The convincing 3-1 victory set the tone for what promises to be an exciting season for the German club.

Hoffenheim struggled to find answers against the well-organized Eintracht Frankfurt side, with the visitors remaining harmless for most of the match. Despite managing an offside goal, they were unable to threaten Eintracht Frankfurt's lead. Grischa Prömel scored a late consolation goal in the 90.+1 minute, but Eintracht Frankfurt comfortably saw it out.

Eintracht Frankfurt were without striker Jonathan Burkardt due to back pain and veteran Mario Götze due to muscle problems. Ansgar Knauff had a chance for Eintracht Frankfurt but failed to convert. Fares Chaibi set up a chance for Elye Wahi, who failed to score from two meters, while Oliver Baumann, Germany's national goalkeeper, made a save to prevent another goal for Eintracht Frankfurt.

The coach who led Eintracht Frankfurt to the top of the Bundesliga table in the relevant season was Oliver Glasner. He took charge of Eintracht Frankfurt starting in the 2021/22 season and led the team to significant successes, including winning the Europa League in 2022. Elye Wahi stepped in for the new signing from FSV Mainz 05 in Eintracht Frankfurt's lineup.
