Eintracht Frankfurt on the ground: Leipzig reigns supreme after a 6-0 defeat!

In a landmark encounter, Eintracht Frankfurt suffered a bitter defeat on December 6, 2025 when they lost 6-0 to RB Leipzig. Leipzig presented itself as extremely efficient and took advantage of almost every opportunity. In the first half it was a misunderstanding between goalkeeper Michael Zetterer and defense chief Robin Koch that gave Leipzig the early lead. Konrad Harder took advantage of the chance and headed the ball over Zetterer for a 1-0 lead in the 5th minute.

The Frankfurt defense had their hands full in this encounter and after Dahoud hit the crossbar, it was Nnamdi Collins who left Harder unhindered on the left wing. Collins, who only moved from Borussia Dortmund to Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023 and signed a contract until 2028, still had many positive developments behind him in his career at this point.

A talent at work

Nnamdi Collins began his football career in the youth department of VfL Benrath and moved to Borussia Dortmund at the age of 12. There he was retrained from an offensive player to a defender and was a regular player in the C youth team under coach Marco Lehmann. In the U17, he and his team had a remarkable record, winning all but five league games.

Collins quickly attracted interest from several major clubs and ultimately decided to stay in Dortmund. His skills, particularly his physicality and strength in tackling, were praised by coaches, even if he occasionally showed weaknesses in opening the game. He rose to the A-youth level and had the opportunity to shine in various DFB youth teams, where he was, among other things, captain of the U16 team.

Promotion and first appearances in the Bundesliga

In February 2024, Collins made his debut in the Bundesliga matchday squad and was able to play his first game in the top German league on April 5, 2024 against Werder Bremen. In the first half of the 2024/25 season he played eight times in the Bundesliga and scored his first goal in January 2025 against SC Freiburg. He also recently made his debut for the German senior national team and became European runner-up at the 2025 U-21 European Championship.

The current defeat will be a setback for Eintracht, especially after the high expectations for the season. The numbers speak for themselves: According to [Kicker], they are currently in the bottom third of the table and urgently need an upswing to improve the situation. The team must now quickly find solutions to break out of this crisis in results and get back on the road to success.

A look at the statistics shows that Leipzig took advantage of the moments that presented themselves. In addition to the two goals from Harder and Baumgartner, other players also impressed, contributing to an overall convincing performance from Leipzig. Eintracht, on the other hand, must do everything they can in the coming games to turn things around. The fans hope for a quick recovery for their team and hope for a better game in the next meeting.
