Trapp saves!
The Frankfurt goalkeeper stops Daschner from scoring a consolation, saving from close range.

Slowing things down
The hosts are taking the sting out of this now, controlling possession. With their seven goals today, they have netted 23 times this term - their highest tally after nine games in 31 years.

Ringing the changes
Toppmöller can afford to rest some of his key players with the three points surely in the bag here.

SEVEN!
More salt into Bochum wounds here, as Ekitiké slots Dahoud's through-ball beyond Drewes. Who knows how this could end up?!?!?
67'
6 - six!!!
Frankfurt are irresistible at the moment! Uzun has been on the pitch a matter of seconds and finds the back of the net, played in courtesy of Marmoush's sixth assist of the season.

Five-star Frankfurt!
Another goal for Frankfurt, and this time, Dahoud is on the scoresheet, finding the bottom corner with a controlled strike from outside the area.

Great save
A strong leg from Drewes keeps out Knauff. The next goal in this one could be crucial, you feel.
55'
Trapp saves
Sissoko shoots straight at Trapp from just inside the area. Another opportunity for the away team, though.
51'
Now then...
Do Bochum have something special up their sleeves? Passlack's brilliant free-kick gives Hofmann the easiest of finishes. Two goals down...
49'
Quiet so far
It has been a timid opening few minutes in comparison to those opening 45 minutes.

Half-time
45'
Bochum record!
Something for the visitors to take from this first half, at the very least. Holtmann is then denied by Trapp from the edge of the area.
40'
Dahoud denied!
Only a reaction Drewes saves stops Dahoud from opening his own account for the campaign.
What a moment

One back!
Out of nowhere, Bochum pull one back. Some confusion in the Frankfurt box allows Mašović to head forward, and De Wit takes advantage as he pokes into the corner.

It's four!
Frankfurt can't stop scoring, as Collins passes across the box for Brown to tap into an empty net. That is his first-ever goal on his maiden start - what a day!

Not at the races
Bochum are second best all over the park right now. They really need to produce something special to get back into this one.
Man of the moment

21'
Three up!
A nightmare for Bochum, who are their own worst enemy as Frankfurt extend their lead further. Wittek is caught in possession as the last man, allowing Knauff to bear down on goal and curl into the corner.
19'
Another for Marmoush!
Frankfurt are two to the good, and it is that man Marmoush again! Shortly after Kane had given Bayern Munich the lead against Union Berlin to move ahead in the goalscoring charts, the Egypt international curls a free-kick home to draw level. More importantly, Frankfurt are now in total control here.

Jack of all trades
Not only does Marmoush lead the goalscoring charts with Harry Kane, he also has the most assists with five after that latest contribution.

Frankfurt in front!
It didn't take the Eagles long, as Ekitiké give his side the advantage. Marmoush was involved, whipping in a cross to his strike partner and, after a couple of touches, he fired into the corner.

No chances to report
Neither side has had a sight of goal during these opening stages.

Kick-off!
Marmoush milestone
The Bundesliga's joint-top goalscorer this season is making his 100th appearance in the division today. He will be hoping to celebrate with another strike, no doubt.
