Eintracht Frankfurt's Omar Marmoush takes star free-kick power to the next level
As we enter the third international break of the 2024/25 season, Omar Marmoush continues to set the standard in the Bundesliga. Not only does the Egyptian sit joint-top of the goalscoring charts alongside Harry Kane with 11, his seven assists are also a league high.
His 18 goal contributions, therefore, are a division high too, while no other Bundesliga player has contributed to a higher proportion of his team’s goals than the Frankfurt No.11 (69 per cent). Quite frankly, he is in the form of his life, helping the Hessen outfit to the dizzy heights of third in the German top flight.
The praise has, understandably, been constant, but his latest strike against VfB Stuttgart highlighted one particular weapon in his arsenal. From all of 30 yards, Marmoush curled a free-kick over the Swabian wall and beyond Alexander Nübel with pinpoint accuracy.
It was not a one-off, either. Against Slavia Prague, the 25-year-old netted another set piece in off the bar from a slightly closer position, a strike which came after a now-familiar Marmoush special in the 7-2 hammering of VfL Bochum on Matchday 9 of the Bundesliga.
