Brentford 7-0 Frankfurt: Seventh heaven for Bees in final friendly
Aug 15 2026 21:20 · By onefootball.com · 19 Reads
Brentford finished their pre-season smashing seven past Eintracht Frankfurt at the Indeed Invitational at the Gtech Community Stadium winning 7-0.
They go into their opening Premier League fixture at home to Spurs following a glut of goals.
The Bundesliga side, who had won all five of their previous pre-season games and finished eighth in the Bundesliga last season, were put to the sword in West London in front of more than 13,000 fans.
Braces from Kevin Schade and Igor Thiago, a home debut goal for Mamadou Sangaré and strikes from Keane Lewis-Potter and Dango Ouattara will have made some head turns even during pre-season.
Shade scored the opener after just two minutes, Sangaré volleyed from just outside the box after 12 minutes and Igor Thiago tapped the ball into an open goal to make it 3-0 at the half.
It didn’t take long for Brentford to continue their goalscoring in the second half with Ouattarra and Lewis-Potter netting before the hour.
Thiago and Shade netted again in the second half to make it seven to the hosts.
Frankfurt goalkeeper Kauã Santos had a game to forget making several costly mistakes and conceding so many.
Captain Robin Koch came off injured for Frankfurt following a mistake for the third goal and could be a doubt for the start of the German season.
Frankfurt rarely threatened in a match they will soon wish to forget.
Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson were amongst those in attendance and watched the game from behind the dugout.
Adi Hütter will surely be asking questions of his goalkeeper and defense and will be wondering if his side can concede fewer goals than the 65 they shifted last season in the Bundesliga.
Keith Andrews’ side will be in high hopes as the Premier League season looms with their only home pre-season game being near perfect.
A planned penalty shootout did not take place after the final whistle.
All eyes will now be on Brentford’s Premier League opener at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday 22 August at 17:30 (BST).
