Bayer 04 made the 29 Bundesliga away games in a row without defeat thanks to a commander 4-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. Nathan Tella, Nordi Mukiele and Patrik Schick handed the work self a 3-0 lead before Hugo Ekitike got one back for the hosts prior to the break. Aleix Garcia then wrapped things in the second half.
Match report
Leverkusen was lively from the start and could quickly recover the ball. That pressure led to a different chance of Schick, this time a header from the cross of Granit Xhaka that was blocked by Arthur Theate. The breakthrough finally came just before half an hour of half an hour when Xhaka Tella went in, who turned his husband and then chose the corner with a shot over the goal. And the work self then took the pace even further and a second only three minutes later when Mukiele responded the fastest to a bouncing ball in the six-year box in a corner. Another Xhaka Pass turned out to be told for the third, this time choosing the run of Alejandro Grimaldo to cut back to Schick to throw Leverkusen's third in the room of seven minutes and his 16th of the season. Ekitike hit a short backpass and hit Hradecky against the ball to tap an empty net and to bring Frankfurt back into the game before the break.
After the restart, Eintracht came out with more energy and tried to further reduce the deficit in Germany's financial capital. Alonso's first change was the introduction of ADLI for Schick before the hour. The International of Morocco quickly tested Kevin Trapp with an attempt in the spider before the work self restored their benefit of three goals when Garcia shot home from a central position 25 meters out during a period in which Frankfurt seemed to be in the Ascendency. Victor Boniface and Exquice Palacios came up for Tella and Xhaka, before Jonas Hofmann and Emiliano Buendia were introduced for Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz while Bayer saw 04 comfortable things to expand their undefeated run from home in the Bundesliga to 29 games.
Bayer 04 now has the first stage of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in Bayern Munich to come this Wednesday (9 p.m. CET). Werder Bremen are then the visitors of the Bayarena in the Bundesliga on Saturday before the return bone with Bayern.
