Summer loan signing Omar Marmoush hit the ground running at VfB, scoring a late equaliser to rescue a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in his first competitive appearance for the club. Marmoush, who has since established himself as a first-team regular, also set up VfB’s opener from a corner in their recent 3-1 win at home to TSG Hoffenheim.
