The team of coach Gerardo Seoane won 2-0 (1-0) against Eintracht Frankfurt and also benefited from the parallel mistake of the fellow competitor RB Leipzig near Borussia Mönchengladbach. As a result, the Werkelf has four points two points two points before the end.

Top scorer Patrik Schick (51st, according to video evidence) increased shortly after the restart with his 22nd goal of the season-only Stefan Kießling (25 goals 2012/13) scored more often in the Bavarian dress in a season.

Eintracht Frankfurt without ideas against Bayer

In his 100th Bundesliga game, Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner was strongly in his starting eleven with a view to the Europa League. Only goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, Lucas Tuta and Filip Kostic remained from the initial formation of the first leg (2-1) in London.

And this rotation was noticeable right from the start. Leverkusen determined the game in front of 26,492 spectators in the BayArena without getting opportunities in the early quarter of an hour. In contrast to many other games this season, the Rhinelander used the first option. After a beautiful outside of the outside of the wing racer Moussa Diaby, Paulinho pushed in from a short distance.

The hit did not inspire the eventless encounter. Frankfurt continued to do nothing for the game, the still superior Bavarian did not take any further chances. The supposed 2: 0 by Schick (34.) was withdrawn due to a offside position.

Shortly before the break, Robert Andrich only hit the outside network. The only Frankfurt conclusion fled Jens Haug next to the goal of the employment unit Bayer goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky.

After the break, the fate was initially interrupted again after a nice passing of the striking diaby - according to video evidence, referee Benjamin Cortus (Röthenbach) gave the goal. Frankfurt remained in the energy -saving mode, Leverkusen had to do no more than necessary until the end. The strong Azmoun failed with a long -range shot on Trapp (71.).
