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.
