Hugo Ekitiké and Omar Marmoush: Eintracht Frankfurt's next strike partnership set to take the Bundesliga by storm
Hugo Ekitiké and Omar Marmoush have been in dazzling form for Eintracht Frankfurt so far in 2024/25, serving up a reminder of the club's 's strong tradition of devastating attacking partnerships.
bundesliga.com outlines how they are following a proud history of heroic Frankfurt forwards.
Only 23 minutes had passed in Frankfurt's first home fixture of the season against Hoffenheim on Matchday 2 when they first combined their attacking powers to devastating effect. Marmoush took a long pass down the left on a break and showed extraordinary vision to thread a ball through a small gap in the visitors' defence for Ekitiké to take, round Oliver Baumann with swagger and slot in.
The forceful show of the pair's attacking might was followed minutes later by a moment of sheer footballing poetry as the Egyptian drifted inside from the left again to lay it towards Ekitiké - who held back this time and prodded a deft little pass for Hugo Larsson to chase behind the bewildered Hoffenheim backline and clip past Baumann.
By the time Marmoush added a goal of his own in the second half, it was clear for all to see that Frankfurt's attack is fully fired up for the season ahead and powered by a wonderful understanding between two thrilling players.
