BERLIN (AP) — Egypt forward Omar Marmoush starred again to lead Eintracht Frankfurt to a 4-2 win at promoted Holstein Kiel for its fourth straight Bundesliga win on Sunday.

Marmoush scored two goals and set up the other two to help Frankfurt continue its winning run since starting the league with a 2-0 loss at Borussia Dortmund. He has scored in every win – Marmoush had never scored in four straight league games before.

“It’s a lot of fun,” the 25-year-old forward said. “I’m happy to play for this team and to help with goals and assists. We’re happy with the three points. That’s what counts, and not who scores.”

Marmoush opened the scoring in the 25th minute and set up Igor Matanović’s first league goal after the break to cancel Shuto Machino’s penalty equalizer for Kiel.

Machino scored again in the 50th, but Marmoush replied again in the 65th, nine minutes before he set up Brazilian defender Tuta to seal the win.

The win means Frankfurt is just a point behind league leader Bayern Munich after five rounds. Bayern dropped its first points Saturday in a 1-1 draw with defending champion Bayer Leverkusen.

BREMEN RECOVERS

Jens Stage scored a hat trick and Werder Bremen recovered from conceding three early goals to beat Hoffenheim 4-3 in the late game.

The home team raced into a 12-minute three-goal lead after a brace from Marius Bülter and another goal from Adam Hložek, but the game turned following Stanley Nsoki’s sending off in the 18th for a foul on Felix Agu when the Bremen player was through on goal.

Julian Malatini pulled one back three minutes later, Stage scored six minutes after that, then equalized in the 39th.
