Hoppe, 19, took advantage of slow-to-act Eintracht defender Martin Hinteregger, who apparently thought Kevin Trapp was well-positioned to collect Benjamin Stambouli’s hopeful entry. pass.
California native Hoppe takes a shoulder barge from Hinteregger but keeps his balance and composure to slot between Trapp’s legs.
Another game, another goal.
