Bayer Leverkusen come back from behind to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in a thrilling Bundesliga match on Saturday. The game saw several key moments, including a penalty miss by Victor Boniface early in the game.
Boniface had the chance to open the scoring from the penalty spot in the ninth minute, but his weak effort was saved by Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. Just seven minutes later, Frankfurt took the lead through Omar Marmoush, who converted a penalty after being brought down by Robert Andrich.
Andrich made amends for his earlier mistake by scoring the equalizer in the 25th minute. He finished off a well-coordinated passing sequence involving Amine Adli and Martin Terrier, leveling the score for Leverkusen.
The second half saw the return of Florian Wirtz from injury, and his presence significantly boosted Leverkusen’s attack. Wirtz’s cross in the 72nd minute was deflected by Trapp, allowing Boniface to score an easy header and secure the win for Leverkusen.
The match also saw controversy in stoppage time when Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitiké was denied a penalty despite a clear foul by Jonathan Tah. The decision left Frankfurt coach Dino Toppmöller and players speechless, but it did not change the outcome of the game.
