Frankfurt Kicks Off Bundesliga Season with 4-1 Victory Over Bremen

Can Uzun and Jean-Matteo Bahoya shine as Frankfurt thrash Bremen 4-1

Eintracht Frankfurt dominates Werder Bremen 4-1 in their Bundesliga opener, with Can Uzun and Jean-Matteo Bahoya scoring crucial goals.

Eintracht Frankfurt got their Bundesliga season off to a flying start with a convincing 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen at Deutsche Bank Park. This win extends Bremen's poor head-to-head record, with only one win in their last 12 encounters.

The match began at a frenetic pace, with ex-Bremen goalkeeper Michael Zetterer called into action early on. He made a crucial save, gathering Marco Grull's effort, showcasing his reflexes and shot-stopping ability.

Frankfurt dominated the match, outplaying Bremen in various statistical categories, including ball possession (52% vs 48%), shots on target (5 vs 5), and corner kicks (7 vs 1).

Frankfurt's new signing Jonathan Burkardt had a promising chance to score just moments later when the ball was flicked into his path from a corner, but his effort hit the post. Shortly after, goalkeeper Zetterer made a crucial save by parrying Grull's precise free-kick.

Can Uzun broke the deadlock with a stunning long-range strike, putting Frankfurt ahead. The 19-year-old quickly followed up his goal with an assist, delivering a precise cross that Jean-Matteo Bahoya headed home to give Die Adler a 2-0 lead.

An emphatic win at home to start our Bundesliga campaign! 😍

The goals continued to flow in the second half, with Jean-Matteo Bahoya doubling his tally after poor defending from Bremen allowed him to tap home a pass from Can Uzun. This further extended Frankfurt's lead and put Bremen under increasing pressure.

Werder Bremen quickly responded, pulling one back through Justin Njinmah's impressive strike into the bottom corner. However, their comeback hopes were swiftly dashed as Frankfurt continued to dominate.

Ansgar Knauff, coming on as a substitute for Jean-Matteo Bahoya, made an instant impact, scoring Frankfurt's fourth goal with a neat finish into the bottom corner following a swift counter-attack.

Knauff almost added a second goal in the closing stages, but his deflected shot was expertly palmed away by Werder Bremen's goalkeeper Mio Backhaus, securing the win for Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt carried their impressive form into the new season, building on their third-place finish last year with a convincing 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen. This win showcases Frankfurt's strong performance, particularly in the final third, where they scored four goals.

Meanwhile, Werder Bremen faced a tough start to the season, compounded by their recent back-to-back defeats. Following their 4-1 loss to Frankfurt, they had previously lost 1-0 to Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal. This challenging run of form raises concerns about Bremen's ability to adapt under new coach Horst Steffen, who replaced Ole Werner after he joined RB Leipzig.
