Bayer Leverkusen scored a narrow victory in the Bundesliga on Wednesday evening. Made a visit to 1. FC Köln that Work Self a 1-0 deficit at half-time in the second half: 1-2. Basic strength Jeremie Frimpong played an important role, as he gave the decisive pass to goal scorer Moussa Diaby after a nice dribble down the left flank.

Trainer Xabi Alonso had not only cleared a starting spot for Frimpong, because Mitchel Bakker was also on the field from the first whistle. Timothy Fosu-Mensah had to settle for a reserve role, although he was allowed to relieve Frimpong in the last minute of regular time. The latter saw how Benno Schmitz opened the score in an unparalleled way for the home team. The right back took a falling cross from Sargis Adamyan to his chest and then shot a great volley: 1-0.

Leverkusen only came alongside in the 65th minute via Nadiem Amiri. The central midfielder shot through the wall with a bit of luck via a free kick and put his team on the same level: 1-1. Less than five minutes later, Diaby decided the game after an assist from Frimpong. The Dutch back was sent deep by the former, after which he bridged tens of meters, passed his direct opponent and put wide on Diaby, who hit the empty goal: 1-2. National coach Louis van Gaal will announce the final World Cup selection of the Dutch this Friday. Bakker and Frimpong are in the preselection.
