Doan hits double on debut as Frankfurt cruise in German Cup
Japan winger Ritsu Doan scored twice on his debut as Eintracht Frankfurt thumped fifth-tier Engers 5-0 in the first round of the German Cup on Sunday.
Doan, who joined Frankfurt from Bundesliga rivals Freiburg in the summer, scored in each half.
The Japan international scored Frankfurt's second in first-half stoppage time, collecting the ball on the run and scoring past the goalkeeper in one motion.
Doan got his second on 54 minutes, cutting in on his left foot to put Frankfurt 3-0 up.
Jean-Matteo Bahoya, Elye Wahi and Paxten Aaronson also scored for the five-time German Cup winners.
Long-time captain and goalkeeper Kevin Trapp was left out of the match-day squad "due to discussions with another club," Frankfurt said on social media.
German media reported the former Paris Saint-Germain goalie is set for a move to newly-promoted Ligue 1 side Paris FC.
First division sides Borussia Moenchengladbach, Cologne and Augsburg also advanced.
Two-time cup winners Kaiserslautern hammered RSV Eintracht 7-0.
Schalke, who are now in the second division but have won the German Cup five times, won 1-0 away at Lokomotiv Leipzig.
On Monday, five-time winners Borussia Dortmund play at neighbours Essen.
