Eintracht Frankfurt confirmed their dominance in the German Cup with a record-breaking 11-0 win over SC St. Tönis, a fifth-tier team, in a match that saw them score ten goals before halftime, according to Olé.
The difference between the two teams was evident from the start, with Jonathan Burkardt opening the scoring just four minutes in and Robin Koch doubling the lead six minutes later. The first half became a one-sided affair, with the Bundesliga team's attack showing no signs of slowing down. Burkardt completed his hat-trick before halftime, while Can Uzun added a double and Mario Gotze scored in the fifth minute of added time to seal the 10-0 lead.
The 11-0 win marked a historic moment in the German Cup, as no team had ever held a ten-goal lead at halftime. The Frankfurt's previous best record in the competition was a 10-2 win over Hertha Zehlendorf in the 1976/77 season. The team's coach, Adi Hutter, will be looking to build on this momentum as they prepare to start their Bundesliga season against Union Berlin on August 29.
The win also came as a welcome relief for the Frankfurt team, who had suffered a 7-0 defeat in an friendly match against Brentford just six days earlier. The team's performance in the German Cup has shown that they are capable of producing high-scoring victories, and they will be looking to carry this form into their upcoming league matches.
