Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface played a key role in their 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring a goal and assisting on two more as the Bundesliga leaders maintained a four-point lead. The team, led by Xabi Alonso, remained unbeaten in the league this season, with Boniface scoring his ninth goal of the campaign in the 14th minute. Despite a missed free kick by Alejandro Grimaldo, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz added two more goals to secure the win.
Xabi Alonso acknowledged that Leverkusen did not have enough control in the first half of the match but showed improvement in the second half, dominating play and creating numerous chances. The team currently sits at the top of the Bundesliga table with 39 points, while defending champions Bayern Munich trail in second place with 35 points and a game in hand.

Following next week’s matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Bundesliga will pause for a winter break and resume on January 12th.
