Eintracht Frankfurt led inside six minutes and still lost 4-1. FC Augsburg scored twice in the space of a minute right after half-time and never looked back, taking all three points at Deutsche Bank Park on matchday 2.
Jonathan Burkardt gave Frankfurt the perfect start, finishing a Younes Ebnoutalib assist inside six minutes.
