DFB-Pokal: 11-0! Frankfurt crushes St. Tönis in record win

Eintracht Frankfurt began their DFB-Pokal campaign with a historic 11-0 rout of SC St. Tönis, a fifth-tier team and cup debutant. The dominant performance saw the Bundesliga club establish a club record for their largest-ever cup victory and achieve the highest halftime score in DFB-Pokal history with a commanding 10-0 lead.

Before kickoff, approximately 6,000 traveling Eintracht fans created a vibrant atmosphere with a black-and-red choreography, while home fans launched a colorful confetti cannon. The match experienced a slight delay due to an unfastened goal net. Despite a brave start from the amateurs, Eintracht quickly extinguished any hopes of an upset with two early headed goals from corners by Jonathan Burkardt and captain Robin Koch.

Following a heavy 0-7 loss in their previous friendly against FC Brentford, Eintracht Frankfurt found confidence through their early offensive surge. The team's attacking prowess overwhelmed SC St. Tönis, leading to a goal-scoring spree. By halftime, Eintracht had extended their lead to 10-0, setting a new DFB-Pokal record for the most goals scored in the first half.

In the second half, Eintracht eased their intensity. St. Tönis had an opportunity to score a consolation goal in the 57th minute, but Lenni Castrop missed a clear chance in front of the Eintracht goalkeeper. The final score was sealed by substitute Fares Chaibi after several injury interruptions.
