👀 Class gulf on show: Leipzig are tearing Frankfurt apart | OneFootball

The Bundesliga top match on Saturday evening often promises a thrilling duel on equal footing. Currently, however, we are mainly seeing a match in which RB Leipzig is dominating Eintracht Frankfurt with remarkable composure—at least in terms of the scoreline. One could even say: They are dismantling them with all the tricks in the book.

Eintracht, who had remained unbeaten in their last six league games, fell behind after just five minutes. Baumgartner chipped the ball into the path of Conrad Harder, who headed it over Zetterer to give RB the lead.

What followed was a lively game that was quite balanced, offering both sides chances on goal as well as spells of possession.

But after about half an hour, it was Leipzig who scored again: Christoph Baumgartner finished off a counterattack after an assist from the previously successful goalscorer Harder, making it 2-0.

Shortly before the break, things could have gotten even worse for the team from the Main metropolis. The supposed 3-0 was, however, disallowed after a VAR review due to offside. But just 120 seconds after the restart, the ball was in Zetterer's net again. Leipzig’s shooting star Yan Diomande scored from around 14 meters to make it 3-0—after just 47 minutes.

Soon after, it became clear: This might not just be bitter for Toppmöller's team—it’s already rock bottom. Once again, it was the 19-year-old Diomande, who scored with a beautiful curling shot from 16 meters out. In the 60th minute, David Raum increased the lead to 5-0 from the penalty spot, and then Frankfurt completely fell apart—Diomande decided to boost his market value even further and completed the half dozen—at the same time securing a hat-trick (65th minute). 

With the five goals conceded tonight, Frankfurt has now let in a remarkable 29 goals this season—meaning Eintracht has just overtaken Heidenheim as the club with the worst defense in the entire league (and that as seventh in the table...). 

What do you think? Should we be worried about Eintracht—especially with an eye on the clash with Barca next week?! Feel free to let us know in the comments!
