Eintracht Frankfurt made a successful start to their Bundesliga campaign on Saturday when they played host to Werder Bremen. Can Uzun, Jean-Matteo Bahoya and Ansgar Knauff all managed to get on the scoresheet as Dino Toppmoller's side were able to secure all three points in their league opener. With a successful performance behind them, Sky Sports Germany presenter Katharina Kleinfeldt asked a player how he felt about the victory. The problem, however, was that the man she was interviewing was not, in fact, a Frankfurt player. Instead it was Werder defender and club captain Marco Friedl. ?

The Austria international later expressed his surprise at the interaction. 'I've never experienced that before, ' he said. 'That's strange and also a bit ridiculous. ' Kleinfelt - who is in a relationship with Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl - later addressed her mistake. 'Before the game, I interviewed Marco Friedl on the bus, ' she said. 'Unfortunately, the Eintracht jersey confused me for a moment after the final whistle, so I made this unfortunate mistake. '
