This is also the first official match of new coach Kasper Hjulmand as captain of the team.
In the first half, Leverkusen took advantage of their home field to create a safe gap. Alejandro Grimaldo opened the scoring before Patrick Schick doubled the gap. In the second half, Eintracht Frankfurt tried to attack and scored a goal to reduce the score thanks to Yilmaz Uzun. However, Grimaldo continued to shine with the goal that sealed the 3-1 result for Leverkusen in the final minutes.
The match was not lacking in drama as Bayer Leverkusen had to play with one less player in the second half due to receiving 2 red cards. However, their solidity in defense and effectiveness at important moments helped Hjulmand and his team secure the victory.
This result helped Bayer Leverkusen rise to 7th place in the rankings, while also stopping Eintracht Frankfurt's streak of 2 consecutive wins.
With a smooth start, coach Kasper Hjulmand is receiving high expectations from fans in the journey to conquer the Bundesliga this season.
