Tenth consecutive victory for Bayer of Xabi Alonso while Eintracht Frankfurt of Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitiké enjoyed themselves against Fribourg.
Bayer Leverkusen, reigning German champion, won its tenth consecutive match in all competitions on Tuesday, winning against Mainz (1-0), while Eintracht Frankfurt of Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitiké, scorers, won against Friborg (4-1) on the 17th day.
Thanks to a goal from Alejandro Grimaldo at the start of the second half (48th), Bayer Leverkusen came back to within one point of the leader of the German championship, Bayern (38 against 39). The Munich residents host Hoffenheim on Wednesday (8:30 p.m.) at the end of the first leg of the Bundesliga.
Frankfurt keeps pace
Behind the leading duo, Eintracht Frankfurt manages to keep pace at the start of 2025, with a second success and 33 points on the clock. After winning at Sankt Pauli with a goal from Egyptian Omar Marmoush, Eintracht dominated Friborg 4-1 on Tuesday, with goals from Marmoush and Hugo Ekitiké.
Marmoush is one of the most coveted players in the winter transfer window, with Frankfurt confirming interest from a club on Saturday without naming it. Broadcaster Sky announced last week that Manchester City had reached an agreement with the 25-year-old Egyptian international, who shares first place in the scorers’ rankings with Harry Kane for at least 24 hours (15 goals each).
