Bayer Leverkusen secures Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt with key goal from Wirtz

Bayer Leverkusen secured their first Bundesliga victory of the season with a crucial win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night, securing their place in the top flight for the rest of the season.

The match was a closely fought affair, with both teams looking to make it count early on. Eintracht Frankfurt were initially on top as they went into the half-time break leading 1-0.

However, Bayer Leverkusen responded well and scored through a penalty kick by Jordan Wirtz just before the interval. The German international's strike gave Leverkusen a commanding lead going into the second half.

Wirtz then doubled Leverkusen's lead with his second goal of the game, finishing off a stunning run of play after a long-range effort from Marcus Harnisch. This was the second hat-trick of the season for Wirtz, who had previously scored three goals in five games last season.

In the end, Leverkusen sealed the victory with a powerful finish, sending their fans into a frenzy at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The win marked a significant step forward for Leverkusen, who have struggled recently with injuries and form, but this win is a testament to their resilience and determination.

The win also comes ahead of a crucial clash against Schalke 04 on Sunday evening. Leverkusen will be hoping to build on their momentum and secure a third straight win in the league this season. With a strong backline and solid attacking performance, Leverkusen can certainly challenge for the title next season.
