Fares Chaïbi, the Algerian international midfielder, broke his Bundesliga goal drought during Eintracht Frankfurt’s commanding 4-0 win over Heidenheim on matchday 12. Chaïbi’s crucial strike, his first league goal of the season, ended a 103-day scoring dry spell, dating back to his German Cup performance in August.
Introduced at halftime, the 20-year-old made an immediate impact by scoring in the 49th minute.
This win not only solidified Frankfurt’s second-place position in the Bundesliga with 26 points but also marked a pivotal moment for Chaïbi, who hopes to regain prominence in his coach’s plans.
Omar Marmoush starred with a brace, while Hugo Ekitike added another to complete the rout.
Chaïbi’s performance earned him a solid 7.5 rating, with 88% passing accuracy and significant contributions to the team’s overall dominance.
Chaïbi has participated in 15 matches this season across all competitions, tallying two goals but falling short of last season’s standards.
This recent breakthrough, however, could signal a turning point as he aims to regain his form and elevate his impact for Frankfurt both domestically and in Europe.
