Bayer Leverkusen’s Dutch-Ghanaian sensation, Jeremie Frimpong was on target for the Bundesliga leaders as they trashed Bayern Munich 3-0 on Saturday evening to open a five point gap at the top.
Initially confined to the bench, the dynamic Dutch international emerged as a game-changer, injecting vitality into the match when he was summoned in the 65th minute of the encounter between Leverkusen and Bayern Munich in the pivotal week 21 clash of the German Bundesliga.
The opening salvo in Leverkusen’s triumphant march was orchestrated by Josip Stanisic, who broke the deadlock in the 18th minute. It was a sequence of brilliance as Andrich orchestrated a breathtaking move down the left flank, threading a precise low cross into the heart of the Bayern defense. The ball, with surgical precision, bypassed Upamecano’s legs and found Stanisic in prime position to execute a clinical finish with his right foot from close quarters.
The momentum continued to surge in Leverkusen’s favor as Alejandro Grimaldo doubled their advantage in the 50th minute, igniting euphoria amongst the home faithful. The goal came to fruition following a blistering run by Nathan Tella, whose surging presence proved too much for the Bayern rearguard to handle.
However, the pièce de résistance arrived in the dying embers of the match, encapsulating Leverkusen’s dominance with a flourish. A scintillating combination between Edmond Tapsoba and Guerreiro unlocked the Bayern defense, paving the way for Jeremie Frimpong to showcase his wizardry. With immaculate finesse, Frimpong curled the ball into the gaping maw of the open goal, sealing an emphatic victory for Bayer Leverkusen in added time.
Frimpong’s heroics epitomized his stellar campaign in the Bundesliga, where his impact reverberated across the pitch. With an impressive tally of 20 appearances, six goals, and six assists to his name this season, Frimpong has emerged as a linchpin for Bayer Leverkusen, a beacon of hope for fans and a nightmare for opposition defenders.
