Eintracht Frankfurt Secures Impressive 5-1 Victory Over Galatasaray Istanbul in Champions League Debut
Eintracht Frankfurt made a strong statement in their Champions League debut, defeating Galatasaray Istanbul by a score of 5-1. The German team, bolstered by new signings Ritsu Doan from SC Freiburg and Jonathan Burkardt from Mainz, controlled the game from start to finish.
The action-packed match began early, with Ansgar Knauff having a close chance to score for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2nd minute, but his shot was saved by Gala goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir. The visitors took the lead in the 8th minute when Yunus Akgün found the back of the net for Galatasaray Istanbul.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt responded swiftly. In the 37th minute, Ritsu Doan's lob led to an own goal by Davinson Sánchez, equalising the score. The turning point of the match came in the 37th and 45+4 minutes, as Sánchez inadvertently deflected two goals into his own net, first for Burkardt's opener and then for Can Uzun's goal, putting Eintracht Frankfurt ahead 3-1 at halftime.
After the break, Eintracht Frankfurt continued to dominate, with Burkardt scoring his second goal of the match in the 66th minute, initially deflected by Sánchez, and Knauff adding another in the 75th minute to secure the 5-1 victory.
The emotional highlight of the match was the farewell of former long-serving Eintracht captain Kevin Trapp, who was feted by the fans during the game. Burkardt was named player of the match on DAZN for his outstanding performance.
With this victory, Eintracht Frankfurt secured their first three points in the Champions League and their return to the top tier after 940 days. The team will look to build on this momentum as they continue their Champions League campaign.
