Eintracht made short work of Heidenheim (4-0) this Sunday, during the 12th day of the Bundesliga.
With a double from its Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush, Frankfurt outclassed Heidenheim (4-0) on Sunday, during the 12th day of the Bundesliga, to consolidate its second place in the standings and above all come back to four points behind Bayern.
Eintracht benefits from the Bavarians' draw on Saturday in Dortmund (1-1), in the German “Klassiker”, which slowed them down a little after five consecutive victories in the league.

Marmoush, 25, now has thirteen goals in twelve days and is only one point behind Bayern gunner Harry Kane in the top scorers rankings. It was he who opened the scoring against Heidenheim (1-0, 22nd), followed by the Algerian Fares Chaidi (2-0, 49th), before killing the match in the 58th minute. In added time, French striker Hugo Ekitike increased the score to 4-0 (90th+4), with his sixth goal of the season.
Frankfurt is firmly seated on the runner-up throne, three points ahead of third-placed Leverkusen and five ahead of fourth-placed Leipzig. Heidenheim, after this defeat, is 16th and potential barrier for the descent.
