A riveting night at the Red Bull Arena saw RB Leipzig overwhelm Eintracht Frankfurt 6–0 on Saturday — a result defined by a blistering hat-trick from 19-year-old breakout star Yan Diomande.
The scoring blitz began early. Just five minutes in, Conrad Harder nodded home a precise cross to give Leipzig the lead, and 26 minutes later Christoph Baumgartner doubled it after a swift counterattack.
After the break, Diomande took center-stage. Between the 47th and 65th minutes, he netted three goals — first a thunderous strike, then a composed finish from the edge of the box, and finally a calm one-on-one after a through ball. With this hat-trick, he became the second-youngest player ever to achieve the feat in Bundesliga history.
The rout was rounded off when David Raum converted a penalty in the 62nd minute to make it 5–0 before Diomande wrapped up the scoring.
Leipzig’s clinical performance not only entertained — they also solidified their hold on second place in the Bundesliga table, remaining one of the few teams still unbeaten at home this season.
But it was the performance of Diomande that left the headlines. The teenage attacker mixed explosive pace, superb positioning, and ruthless finishing — a performance that didn’t just humiliate Frankfurt, but announced a new contender on the Bundesliga’s biggest stages.
