Full-time: Hoffenheim 1-3 Eintracht Frankfurt

The Eagles have two wins from two at the start of this season as the defeat Hoffenheim. Ritsu Dōan was the star of the show, scoring twice himself before providing a lovely assist for Can Uzun. Grischa Prömel did pull one back for Hoffenheim late on, but it was not enough to prevent Eintracht from picking up all three points.

Half-time: Hoffenheim 0-2 Eintracht Frankfurt

Ritsu Dōan is the man of the moment as Frankfurt go into the break two ahead. His first goal was a sublime finish as he curled into the top corner from outside the area, while he was in the right place at the right time to hammer into an empty net from close range for his second. Hoffenheim have had a couple of opportunities, but Frankfurt could easily be even further ahead too.

Dōan again!

The finish isn't as eye-catching this time, but Frankfurt won't care! The visitors break quickly, and Theate's delayed ball to Bahoya appears to have stunted their attack. However, the latter does well to pass the ball to the back post, where the Japan international taps into an empty net.

What a goal

A moment of magic from Dōan gives Frankfurt the lead. As he cuts onto his left foot about 25 yards from goal, you know exactly what he is going to do, and he doesn't disappoint as he curls the ball into the top corner. Stunning.

No Burkardt is Wahi's chance

Burkardt's injury is a blow for Frankfurt, but it gives Wahi a chance to shine from the start. He will be eager to show head coach Dino Toppmöller exactly what he can do.

Hoffenheim team news

There are two changes for the host, with Koki Machida making way for Arthur Chaves and the injured Wout Burger's place taken by Umut Tohumcu.

Frankfurt team news

A late injury to Jonathan Burkardt means he is unavailable for this one, and Elye Wahi therefore takes his place. Mario Götze is also on the sidelines.

Christian Ilzer on facing Frankfurt

"We want to put in a performance in front of our fans against a very strong opponent. They have a similar structure to us, they're intense and very good against the ball and also have plenty of individual quality, so they'll definitely be a tough opponent."

Dino Toppmöller's thoughts on facing Hoffenheim

“We’re preparing for an intensive game. We’ve analysed Hoffenheim thoroughly. The way they played in pre-season and how they beat Rostock and Leverkusen is impressive, but we feel we’re ready.”

Watch: Main stage beckoning for Frankfurt

The stage is set and Eintracht Frankfurt are strutting their stuff on it, already. For the first act, they dispatched Werder Bremen 4-1 – an immediate statement of intent, after last season’s superb third-place finish and the Champions League ticket that came with it. Meanwhile, elsewhere in the metropolis on the Main, the club is quite literally centre-stage, in a theatre play turning the spotlight on its singular qualities and attraction. Curtain up for Eintracht.

Comeback kings

Hoffenheim have earned points in 14 of their 25 Bundesliga games under Ilzer. Of those 14, 10 have seen TSG come from behind, like they did in Leverkusen last week.

Efforts rewarded

Both teams outran their opponents by over five kilometres in their opening victories.

Starlets on the rise

Uzun (19) and Bahoya (20) are the two youngest players to score in the Bundesliga this season. Eintracht's starting XI against Bremen was actually their youngest on a Matchday 1 for 39 years.
camera-photo

Can either push on?

Both teams got wins on the opening weekend, but the last time Hoffenheim started a season with six points from two games was in 2020. For Frankfurt, you have to go back to 2012. TSG are also yet to win back-to-back league games under Christian Ilzer.
