And the Werkself put on a show. The Eintracht defence had no answer up against the attacking whirlwind of Peter Bosz's team, who were really enjoying themselves. Kai Havertz gave them a 1-0 lead as early as the second minute. Eleven minutes later, Julian Brandt increased the advantage to 2-0, but the visitors immediately got one back. However, this goal did nothing to change the fact that only one team was playing in the first half - and that was the Werkself.

Kevin Volland and Wendell each had a great chance before Lucas Alario restored the two-goal cushion with a header in the 24th minute. Five minutes later, Charles Aránguiz increased the lead to 4-1.
And as the Werkself did not let up, Alario got a fifth in the 34th minute. An own goal two minutes later was both the half-time and the final score.

Following a thoroughly successful start with a 2–1 home win against VfL Wolfsburg, the Werkself are organising a team event. On Wednesdays, they head to the Nürburgring together and do a few laps at speed. Manager Klaus Toppmöller welcomes this initiative, as it promotes team spirit and integration. During weekly training sessions, the team works extensively on various defensive tactics, as the manager was dissatisfied with his players’ pressing in the final minutes of the match against the Wolves.
