"What a match. A lot happened, but we got the three points, and I am very happy,"
"I said congratulations - also that I think we did not allow many chances, that we had a lot of energy, and that we worked a lot defensively. We can definitely improve, of course, but three points are very important for us."
"I think we were very, very compact with the back line; we did not allow much, only two shots. We created chances and were strong when we needed to press."
Leverkusen defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1, with Alex Grimaldo scoring twice and Patrik Schick converting a first-half penalty. Eintracht scored through Can Uzun after two Leverkusen players were sent off either side of that strike. Leverkusen finished with 2.1 expected goals (xG) to Eintracht's 0.7, creating most chances in the first half (1.6). Eintracht had no shots on target before half-time and only two on target overall. The home side combined high pressing, compact defending and strong energy to limit chances and secure three points, ending a five-game league winless run.
