Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp scored a brace in a post-season friendly match after being played as an outfield player.

The 33-year-old played against local amateur side VfL Germania 1894, but not in the traditional way a goalkeeper would.

Wearing the number ten shirt, Trapp was brought on as an outfield player for the second-half of Wednesday's post-season clash at the Ahorn Camp Sportpark in Frankfurt.

And the shot-stopper turned striker took just five minutes to find the net in his new role.

Trapp's effort gave the Dino Toppmöller's men a 9-0 lead, with the scoring continuing throughout the second half.

Frankfurt would end up 13-1 winners and Trapp even managed to bag his second with eight minutes of normal time remaining.

Speaking to reporters after the final whistle, Trapp said:

It was about having fun again as a team and with the fans. I think it was entertaining.

For me, the question was how long I could hold out [in attack].
