Leverkusen secured a stunning 5-1 victory over Frankfurt, with a standout moment being Granit Xhaka’s remarkable 12th-minute goal from outside the box.<\/p>\n
Frankfurt managed to level the score through Hugo Ekitike’s header, but Leverkusen quickly regained the lead just before halftime with a goal from Patrick Schick.<\/p>\n
The visiting side extended their advantage in the second half, with Exequiel Palacios converting a penalty after a foul on Nathan Tella. Substitute Jeremie Frimpong added another goal, followed by Victor Boniface’s successful penalty, sealing the rout.<\/p>\n
This victory puts Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen side on par with the 59-year-old European record set by Benfica for the longest unbeaten streak in all competitions.<\/p>\n
With just two league games left in their unbeaten campaign, Leverkusen’s attention now shifts to the second leg of their Europa League semi-final against Roma, where they hold a two-goal lead. If Leverkusen can maintain their unbeaten run in the upcoming match, they will make history by surpassing Benfica’s record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
