# Eintracht Frankfurt Thrashes VfL Bochum with Kostić's Two Assists and Kamada's Goal, Stepping Out of Relegation Zone
Eintracht Frankfurt delivered a commanding performance in their Bundesliga clash against VfL Bochum, securing a 3-1 victory that propels them out of the relegation zone. The match, held at Deutsche Bank Park, was a testament to the team's resilience and fighting spirit under coach Domenec Torrent.
The game started with high intensity, and Frankfurt wasted no time in taking the initiative. Serbian midfielder Filip Kostić played a pivotal role, contributing two assists and setting the tone for the rout. His precise crosses and intelligent link-up play created numerous chances, with the highlight being his cross that led to Japanese star Daichi Kamada’s opener in the 23rd minute. Kamada, who has been a consistent threat in recent matches, capitalized on Kostić’s delivery to give Frankfurt the lead.
Bochum, despite their defensive prowess, struggled to contain Frankfurt’s attacking trio of Kamada, Kostić, and striker Randal Kolarov. The visitors, managed by Thomas Tuchel, responded with some attacking pressure, but Frankfurt’s defense held firm, led by the commanding presence of Swedish center-back Jesper Granberg.
The second half saw Frankfurt extend their lead further. With Bochum pushing forward in search of an equalizer, the hosts counter-attacked with precision. Kostić once again proved decisive, this time teeing up Kamada for his second goal of the season. Bochum’s hopes of a comeback were dashed when, against the run of play, Japanese forward Shun Sugawara scored a stunning solo goal, further solidifying Frankfurt’s dominance.
Despite Bochum’s late efforts to threaten, Frankfurt’s defense remained solid, denying the visitors any clear chances. The final scoreline of 3-1 reflected a comprehensive victory, with Frankfurt’s attacking prowess and defensive reliability securing all three points.
After the match, Frankfurt coach Domenec Torrent praised his side’s performance, emphasizing their mental strength and adaptability. “We showed great character today,” he said. “This win is crucial for us, and it gives us the confidence to move forward.”
With this victory, Eintracht Frankfurt has climbed out of the relegation zone, breathing new life into their Bundesliga campaign. The team now looks ahead to their next fixture against RB Leipzig, aiming to build on this momentum and challenge for a top-half finish.
