Frankfurt will quickly have to put its head right, otherwise this rout will take root in people’s minds. Against Leipzig this Saturday, Elye Wahi’s teammates were struck by lightning, and the result was hefty at the finish: a clean and flawless 6-0. Even if he already plays in the “attackers’ championship”, we imagine that Conrad Harder would like to face more often a defense as permissive as that of his evening opponent. Mute since the start of the season, the 20-year-old Dane tracked by Rennes last summer scored his first goal under his new colors.
He opened the scoring with a header from a lofted ball from Baumgartner, which already clearly highlighted the laxity of the Eagles behind (1-0, 5th). The two men exchanged suits when Harder, after good delaying work, found the second forgotten by the visiting defenders (31st, 2-0). Yan Diomandé scored his first goal of the evening by taking advantage of yet another moment of absence from the Frankfurt rearguard (47th, 3-0), then a second with a clinical strike from the left at the edge of the area (55th, 4-0). He finished the job with a third “bulldozer” goal on a caviar from Seiwald (65th, 6-0). In the meantime, Raum also joined the party from the penalty spot (62nd, 5-0). This success allows Leipzig to secure its 2nd place (29 points), far behind Bayern Munich (37 points). Frankfurt is 7th.
