Brentford Beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7-0 in Pre-Season Friendly

Overview

• Brentford completed their final warm-up with a 7-0 win at the Gtech Community Stadium, a result reported across outlets after Saturday's match.
• Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago each scored twice, while Dango Ouattara, Keane Lewis-Potter and Mamadou Sangaré also found the net, with Sangaré scoring a spectacular debut volley.
• Eintracht captain Robin Koch was substituted at half-time with an injury described by coach Adi Hütter as dizziness after a blow to the neck and was examined in London rather than travelling back with the squad.
• The game leaves contrasting momentum as Brentford head into their Premier League opener at home to Tottenham on August 22 with strong attacking shape, and Eintracht prepare for a DFB-Pokal first-round tie on August 21 amid fitness doubts.
• Frankfurt's heavy defeat has increased pressure on sporting directors to act in the transfer market and to trim a large squad, with reporting noting concern about centre-back depth after Saturday's performance.
