RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Frankfurt
Leipzig steamroll Frankfurt in six-goal blitz
Nkunku's hat-trick and early strikes set the tone for a dominant home victory.
RB Leipzig demolished Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 in a commanding Bundesliga display. E. Banzuzi opened the floodgates within the first minute, and C. Nkunku's hat-trick before and just after halftime sealed the emphatic win. A. Nusa and T. Gomis added late gloss to the scoreline. Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Leipzig win was spot on, though the margin was even more emphatic than forecast.
