Eintracht Frankfurt women defeated Karlsruher SC women 6:1 in the German Cup Round of 32 on 27 September 2026. The match took place at Karlsruhe's home ground. The visitors advanced to the next stage with a comfortable margin.
Frankfurt arrived in decent form. They had won three of their last five matches, including a 1:0 victory over FH Hafnarfjörður on 23 September. A 3:2 win against Mainz 05 and a 4:2 result versus 1899 Hoffenheim showed their attacking capability. They had also secured a 1:0 win over Union Berlin.
Karlsruhe's recent record told a different story. They had beaten Issel 8:0 in August 2026 but lost 0:4 to Andernach in August 2025. A 0:2 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in September 2024 and a 0:4 loss to Sankt in August 2023 suggested struggles against stronger opposition. They had won 5:0 against Elversberg in August 2024.
The 6:1 scoreline reflected the gap between the two sides. Frankfurt's away performances had been mixed — they lost 1:5 to Paris Saint-Germain on 2 September 2026 — but they were clearly stronger than Karlsruhe on this occasion. The hosts could not contain the visitors' attack.
Frankfurt now progress to the Round of 16 in the German Cup. Karlsruhe's cup campaign ends here. The result means the visitors move closer to a potential trophy run.
The goal difference of five goals will not go unnoticed. Frankfurt showed they can score freely against weaker opposition. Karlsruhe will need to improve significantly if they want to compete at this level.
