It has to be crazy, it has to be dramatic with Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen.The defending champion have managed to win against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1) after coming from behind on Saturday afternoon, thus getting back to winning ways.Victor Boniface scored the winner in the second half, but it was the Nigerian striker who missed the first-half penalty. Seven minutes later, Omar Marmoush won a penalty on the other end after being brought down by Robert Andrich. The Egyptian converted it to give Frankfurt an unexpected lead.However, Andrich would redeem himself shortly to equalise for Leverkusen before the break.What a season Victor Boniface is having.5 Bundesliga goals and counting… pic.twitter.com/z3bNAzxFMn— @𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗷𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗯𝗼𝘆 (@OneJoblessBoy) October 19, 2024 The second half saw a much better Leverkusen, with Xabi Alonso’s side blatantly improving and pushing for the total comeback. It paid off eventually as Frankfurt’s keeper Trapp misjudged Wirtz’s cross, and allowed Boniface to score in an empty net for the win.Leverkusen’s next game is against Brest in the Champions League in midweek.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 7FridayDortmund – St.Pauli 2-1 (1-0)/Bensebaini 43, Guirassy 83 – Smith 78/SaturdayFreiburg – Augsburg 3-1 (3-0)/Grifo 34, Lienhart 37, Gunter 45+1 – Tietz 65/Hoffenheim – Bochum 3-1 (1-0)/Kramaric 11, Bulter 65, Tabakovic 90+3 – Gamboa 76/Leverkusen – Eintr.Frankfurt 2-1 (1-1)/Andrich 25, Boniface 72 – Marmoush 16 pen/M’ gladbach – Heidenheim 3-2 (1-1)/Itakura 22, Kleindienst 62, 75 pen – Scienza 12, Pieringer 80 pen/Mainz – RB Leipzig 0-2 (0-2)/Simons 20, Orban 37/Bayern Munich – Stuttgart IN PROGRESSSunday16:30: (3.40) Holstein Kiel (3.40) Union Berlin (2.15)18:30: (2.15) Wolfsburg (3.45) Werder (3.35)***odds are subject to change***
