Buendía!
The ball drops to the substitute inside the Frankfurt box. He and Boniface both strike it, but Theate gets a block to it. It falls to Hofmann, who shoots again, but Frankfurt make another block.

Woodwork again!
Wirtz dances into the box, before falling under the fair challenge of Theate. The loose ball falls to Frimpong, who lashes an effort towards the far corner with his effort ricocheting off the post. It wouldn't have counted anyway, though, as the assistant had his flag raised.

The Leverkusen midfielder is booked for a late challenge on Skhiri.

Quickfire offsides
Adli has found himself in good positions twice in the last couple minutes for the visitors, managing to test Trapp and worrying the Frankfurt defence, but both times the assistant's flag has been raised.
65'
Koch down
The Frankfurt defender stayed down after García's goal, seemingly having sustained a head injury. He left the field for further assessment, but has rejoined his teammates out on the pitch.
63'
García restores the three-goal advantage!
What a hit! Wirtz plays Frimpong through to the byline, who digs a cross out into the danger area. Koch heads clear to the edge of the box, where García strikes it first-time, thundering the ball into the bottom left corner emphatically.

Ekitiké wins a corner
The forward rounds Hermoso before attempting a cross into the middle, which gets blocked behind for a corner. Eintracht can't make anything of the subsequent set-piece.
56'
Mukiele down
One of Leverkusen's goalscorers is down for an extended period, seemingly in considerable discomfort after a challenge from Götze. He leaves the field for further treatment, but has since reentered the fray.

Woodwork!
Frankfurt are attacking with real intent at the start of the second half here. Wahi touches a long ball down for Ekitiké, who lets fly from outside the box. His effort rattles off the right post and past the outstretched arm of Hrádecký, who was beaten.
46'
Back underway!
Leverkusen get the ball rolling again here in Frankfurt. The hosts make two changes at half-time: Collins replaces Knauff and Højlund comes on in place of Larsson. Can they help pull off a comeback here?

Well defended
Knauff emerges from a duel with Grimaldo as the winner. He whips a dangerous cross into the box, but Tah gets there ahead of Ekitiké, guiding the ball back into his goalkeeper's hands to prevent the Frenchman from grabbing a second.

Wirtz has a go
The midfielder combines well with Schick - playing a one-two - before letting fly from the edge of the box. Trapp gets down well to smother it.
38'
Ekitiké claws one back!
Götze plays a ball over the top for Ekitiké to chase. Mukiele gets there first, but his back-pass to his goalkeeper is too short. Ekitiké pounces on the loose ball before rounding Hrádecký and finishing into an empty net. Could the Frenchman have just sown the seeds of a miraculous comeback?
36'
VAR check
Following Schick's goal, there was a brief VAR review on a possible offside in the build-up, but the VAR can see nothing untoward and the goal stands.
34'
Leverkusen running riot!
The visitors are tearing Frankfurt apart here. Xhaka picks out an excellent run from Grimaldo, who gets to the byline inside the Eintracht box. His pass finds Schick at the penalty spot, who dispatches it with his usual confidence. What a first half from Xabi Alonso's men!

Mukiele doubles Leverkusen's advantage!
García takes an in-swinger from the left. It's a perfect ball into the six-yard box, where it bounces around before falling to Mukiele, who stabs home from close range to snatch his side's second. That's Mukiele's first Bundesliga goal for Die Werkself!
28'
Tella again!
Xhaka finds a run in behind from Tella again, who is forced a little wide but manages to get a shot off. Trapp parries it behind for a corner.
27'
Tella finds the far corner!
Xhaka plays a defence-splitting pass to find a very clever run from Tella, who peels off behind the Eintracht backline. He takes a touch before firing a shot back across, with the ball nestling in the bottom left corner. A very tidy finish from the Englishman, who left Trapp rooted to the spot.
25'
Wirtz shoots
The German picks up the ball in the middle of the park and drives at the Frankfurt defence. Frimpong is an option on the overlap, but he opts to shoot, though his shot is deflected and makes for very easy pickings for Trapp.
22'
Corner
Frimpong's cross is blocked behind by Brown. Grimaldo takes from the right, but it's over everyone's heads in the middle, going behind for a goal-kick.

Mistake and redemption
Theate gives it away at the back and Tella pounces on the loose ball. The English winger tries to cut it back for a teammate from the byline, but Theate makes amends for the initial mistake by intercepting.
14'
Second corner
Grimaldo plays an in-swinger from the right, but this time, Frankfurt manage to get it away.
13'
First corner of the evening
Tella's shot from inside the box wins it for Leverkusen. García takes it short to Wirtz, who whips it into the box. Frankfurt can't fully clear and Leverkusen put it back into the box and into Schick, before Theate manages to clear for another corner.
11'
Frankfurt break
Ekitiké is released with a long ball up the pitch. Twisting and turning, he plays a one-two with Wahi before shooting from the right side of the Leverkusen box, but his effort is high and wide.
6'
Just wide!
The ball bounces to García on the edge of the Eintracht box, who lashes a shot goalwards. Schick tries to flick it in from inside the six-yard box, but his delicate touch takes it narrowly wide.
5'
Koch shoots
Götze drives into the Leverkusen penalty area on the left. He cuts it back to Koch on the edge of the box, who hits it with his left, but his effort is blocked.
3'
Tella chases
Grimaldo plays a great ball down the left channel with the outside of his boot. It looks almost as if Tella will latch onto it in behind the Frankfurt defence, but Kristensen gets to the ball first.

Five changes for Frankfurt
Koch has recovered from a shoulder injury to start here, replacing the suspended Tuta at centre-back. There are four other changes from last week's 4-0 defeat at Bayern: Skhiri, Götze, Wahi and Brown all start, with Uzun, Bahoya, Höjlund and Collins all dropping to the bench.
Five fresh faces for Leverkusen
Xabi Alonso has made wholesale changes following last week's 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel, likely with half an eye on the upcoming first leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 tie away to Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Hrádecký, Mukiele, Hermoso, García and Tella all start, with Kovář, Tapsoba, Hincapié, Andrich and Adli the players to make way.

Away-day specialists
Frankfurt have only lost one of 11 home league games this season (3-1 vs. Mainz), but they're facing a travelling machine in Leverkusen, whose win in Kiel took Xabi Alonso past Udo Lattek in the history books. Twenty-eight unbeaten away matches is a new Bundesliga record...
