Bayer Leverkusen beat Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday and moved up to third place, while goalkeeper Christian Wirtz scored his first league goal for the club.
Wirtz had been with Leverkusen since 2015 but has not played much football this season due to injuries. However, he made a significant impact in the match as he saved several shots from goal and prevented Eintracht from scoring any goals.
The match was a close one with both teams having equal chances to score but it was Leverkusen who broke the deadlock early in the second half when Christian Schöni passed the ball over the top and Christian Wirtz headed the ball into the back of the net.
Despite being outplayed by Eintracht, Leverkusen proved their worth against a strong opposition and moved up to third place in the Bundesliga standings. The victory also lifted the morale of the entire team, who were already looking forward to the upcoming matches.
