Raphael Onyedika produced an impressive performance as Eintracht Frankfurt opened their 2026-27 competitive campaign with an 11-0 win over SC St. Tönis in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Friday, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Super Eagles midfielder earned a 9.1 rating on SofaScore, according to the match data supplied for the game. His score came as Frankfurt controlled the match from the start and produced the biggest win in the club’s DFB-Pokal history.
Only three players – Jonathan Burkardt, Can Uzun and Robin Koch – of the 32 who took part in the encounter had a better rating than Onyedika. Burkardt, who registered three goals and two assists, and Uzun, with two goals and three assists, bagged a perfect 10.0 rating. Defender Koch added a goal from his centre-back role to secure his 9.3 rating.
The 25-year-old started in midfield as coach Adi Hütter used him to protect the defence and help Frankfurt move the ball forward. That role became important as the Bundesliga side attacked in waves against the fifth-tier team.
Frankfurt scored twice from corners in the opening 10 minutes. Jonathan Burkardt headed in the first goal in the fourth minute before Robin Koch made it 2-0 in the 10th. Ayoube Amaimouni added a third in the 17th minute before Burkardt scored again in the 29th. (The Nation)
