Kevin Trapp, the goalkeeper for Eintracht Frankfurt, was not selected by Germany’s national team coach for the upcoming home European Championship. Instead of sulking, Trapp decided to have some fun on the field by playing as a striker in a recent friendly match against VfL Germania 94 Frankfurt. The game ended in a whopping 13-1 victory for Eintracht, with Trapp showcasing his goal-scoring skills by scoring twice.
In this high-scoring match before the summer break, other Eintracht players also shined. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya scored a hat-trick, while Farès Chaïbi and Philipp Max both contributed with a brace. Notably, even the backup goalkeeper, Kauã Santos, was brought on as a striker. The fans were delighted to witness Sebastian Rode playing one last time in an Eintracht jersey, with the captain scoring a penalty in his farewell appearance.
For some players like Rode, retirement looms ahead, while Trapp and his teammates now head into the summer break. Trapp certainly made the most of his time on the pitch, using the game to lift his spirits after missing out on the national team selection. The friendly match not only saw impressive performances but also served as a memorable moment for Rode and the fans as the season comes to a close.
