Brentford vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Brentford produced a stunning pre-season statement, hammering Eintracht Frankfurt 7-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium. The Bees were ruthless from the start, with Kevin Schade striking inside the opening two minutes and never letting Frankfurt settle for the rest of the afternoon. Schade doubled up with a second in the 70th minute, either side of goals from Mamadou Sangaré (12'), Igor Thiago (40' and 68'), Dango Ouattara (52') and Keane Lewis-Potter (57'). Frankfurt's afternoon worsened when Robin Koch went off injured around the 40th minute, and both sides rang the changes at half-time and beyond as the German visitors struggled to contain Brentford's pace on the counter. It was a near-perfect send-off for Brentford ahead of their Premier League opener against Tottenham, with the front line looking sharp and clinical. For Eintracht Frankfurt, it's a result to shrug off quickly, though the defensive errors and lack of control shown here will need addressing before their own season kicks off.
