A brilliantly placed Can Uzun gave Eintracht Frankfurt a really nice start into the new season of the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen had little to oppose. In the end of Saturday afternoon, the Hessen celebrated a 4: 1 (2: 0) success against the North Germans.
Uzun brought the hosts 2-0 in front with two nice campaigns. First he shot the Eintracht in front (22nd) with a dream goal from a good 20 meters and then demonstrated that he has an excellent eye for the teammates. His butter -soft chip Jean Bahoya Was a perfect template for the header, which led to 2-0 (25th).
But with that the duo Uzun-Bahoya had not yet shown everything: In the second phase of the game they also worked perfectly together, again successfully completed Bahoya (47th). However, the Werderans demonstrated good nerves and in return (48th) made their first goal through a fine individual campaign by Justin Njinmah. Ansgar Knauff increased from a switching situation to 4: 1 (71.) and closed the game from a Frankfurt perspective. A goal and two assists booked “Eintracht Uzun” in the first appearance of the season – a strong season debut.

Werder begins confidently
After the cup out in Bielefeld, new coach Horst Steffen tried to send his Werder team to the Bundesliga start without a load. The good self-confidence of the guests showed up quickly when Marco Grüll tested his ex-colleague Michael Zetterer in the second minute of the game with a hidden low shot. But the keeper was on the post.
In return, however, on the other hand, it romped in return: center forward Johnny Burkardt wanted to use a corner from the left with a long leg on the second post, but failed on the post. The rebound surprised Arthur Theatthat stood only one meter away.

Eintracht Reifer than Werder
Both teams had lost enormously important players during the summer break – but Frankfurt seemed to have better coped with the path. Example goal: Zetterer as the successor to Kevin Trapp, his successor in Bremen, Mio Backhaus, played his first league game. And showed nerves – which affected the back team.
It was completely overwhelmed when Hugo Larsson in the middle of the first half with a cross pass on Uzun pulled the back team of the guests apart, which made Can Uzun a lot of space. He lay down the ball and then pulled off hidden from the distance. Backhaus saw the ball late and had no chance against the hard, placed shot.
The 21-year-old goalkeeper was also without a real chance against Bahoya’s header, and his foremen had literally lost sight of the French.
Uzuns Talent – Frankfurt can congratulate
According to observers, Uzun had used the summer to work on his skills and make great progress. He was also a bit lucky that the ball stayed with him before the 3-0. But his preparation for Bahoya’s second goal was the result of an intensive summer. Coach Dino Toppmöller gave him in the 75th minute – the game was long since decided – Standing ovation The Eintracht fans when he had paid him the reward for his outstanding performance with his substitution.

At that time, Uzun had initiated the 1: 3 by Njinmah with a false pass – but this was lost in the outstanding overall impression of the appearance of the only 19 -year -old teenager.
Bremen does not defend enough
Had Werder’s left -back Felix Agu already initiated the 0: 3 from Bremen’s point of view, he made the next carver before 4: 1. What is not different from “extremely unhappy”, but revealed the (still) desolate defense work of the green -whites: In both situations there was no protection for the player – the defense of Horst Steffen’s team initially appears to be the greatest Achilles’ heel. The transfer market is still open.
