After a series of miserable performances and the ongoing denial of a "crisis", the Green Whites responded with a shocking 5-0 victory over a injury depleted Eintracht Frankfurt. A capacity crowd at Weserstadion saw the home side control the ball in the attack with Christian Vander undisturbed with any noteworthy chance. Claudio Pizarro start the scoring off at the eleventh minute with his first of three goals on a beautiful link up with Hugo Almeida passing off to him after Torsten Frings played a perfectly weight through ball to him. Only nine minutes later Pizza struck again with Torsten Frings again the provider with the Peruvian international. The match was killed off effectively just before the half as Diego converted on a penalty as Habib Bellaïd was adjudged to fouling Aaron Hunt in the area. The match slowed slightly right after the re-start or at least die Adler didn't appear confident they could get back into it and two minutes after the hour mark, Serbian international Duško Tošić swung in a cross to Claudio Pizarro who received the ball back from Hugo Almeida and added his third of the night to bring the match to 4-0. With fifteen minutes remaining Aaron Hunt made a solid highlight clip run and finished with pounding the ball to the back of the net to bring the match to its final 5-0 margin. This will obviously be a good "confidence builder" and while I hate to (well just a little) slow down the celebration, the injury situation at Eintracht Frankfurt is so deep they're at the point of basically playing with virtually none of their regulars.

I think that's what they call a "good response"
