FIVE-STAR FRANKFURT
A fantastic recovery from Frankfurt, who looked stunned after Schick's brace, but they hit back immediately and never looked back. Five goals and three points for Oliver Glasner's men, in a seven-goal thriller.

OFF THE LINE!
Alario heads what looks like it is Leverkusen's third, but N'Dicka turns it away with an overhead kick on the goal-line. Classy defending!

KAMADA AND JAKIC CLOSE!
Two more chances in quick succession, Kamada first with a shot that is blocked and the ball sits up for Jakic to head just inches wide of the right-hand upright.

LONG TIME AGO
Leverkusen's lead seems like such a long time ago, with Frankfurt on top ever since they cut the deficit. The second half has been one-way traffic, and Frankfurt could and perhaps should have had more than five.

SOW, SOW GOOD!
That must be it now! We've seen some fantastic goals today, but this is the pick of the bunch. The ball falls out to Sow 20 yards from goal and he picks his spot in the far corner, curling the ball unstoppably in.

KAMADA!!! OFFSIDE
That seemed like it was the fifth, but Kamada had strayed into an offside position and the goal is rightly chalked off.

FOUR FOR FRANKFURT!
Another textbook break from Frankfurt and Jakic volleys in a stunner to double the hosts' advantage - what a way to open your Bundesliga account!

HAUGE LIMPS OFF
Hauge came on at half-time, but it looks like he is going to leave the field already.

HAUGE HEADER!
It is quite remarkable that Frankfurt do not yet have a fourth here, with Hauge's header just going inches wide of the right-hand post.
56'
KOSTIC CLOSE!
It was 35 yards, but that means little to Kostic, whose free-kick is fantastic and requires an excellent save at full-stretch from Hradecky to turn over.
55'
ARANGUIZ BOOKED
The only way to stop Borre from getting through was with a professional foul, which carries a yellow card for Aranguiz and a free-kick 35 yards out.
52'
BORRE CLOSE!
From two goals down almost to two up! Borre cuts inside and hits a low shot which Hradecky kicks clear.
50'
N'DICKA AT THE SECOND TIME OF ASKING!
The ball fell for N'Dicka, whose first effort gets held up by the Leverkusen defence, but he swings at the loose ball and blasts it in - the turnaround is complete!
Kick-off!

ONE CHANGE
We are back underway and there has been one change, with one Frankfurt goalscorer replaced - one can only assume for injury - and Hauge replacing him.

MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE!
An exciting first half of end-to-end football comes to an end with both teams tied on two goals each. Schick continues his sensational streak in front of goal, but Frankfurt show excellent powers of recovery to level and end the half in the ascendency. An exciting second 45 minutes are surely in store!

FRANKFURT LEVEL!
Pick that one out! Lindström has brought Frankfurt level with a fine strike, latching onto Sow's lobbed pass, he did not need a first touch to settle – one volleyed drive into the bottom corner was enough.

ONE ROUTE TO GOAL
One hundred per cent of Leverkusen's attacks so far have come down the right wing, through Diaby.

NEVER 0-0
This fixture has never ended 0-0, so it is hardly surprising we have three goals inside the first quarter of the game.

TUTA!
A corner for Frankfurt finds its way through to Tuta at the far post, and he volleys Frankfurt back into the game with his second Bundesliga goal.
22'
ANOTHER GOAL FOR SCHICK!
The 5,000th penalty in the history of the Bundesliga is taken by Schick, and he puts it away! That's six goals in a row for the in-form Czech forward.

SOW UNLUCKY
The Swiss midfielder did not know much about it, but he did hit the ball with his arm. The referee goes to have a closer look on the monitor.

QUICK AND SCHICK
Eleven Leverkusen goals this season have come in the opening 15 minutes - that is more than any other club in the Bundesliga. Oh, and Schick has supplied their last five goals...

HISTORIC FRANKFURT
Frankfurt have just become the first club ever to fall behind in 1000 Bundesliga matches. Not a record they will be too keen on having.

WIRTZ BACKHEEL
There was a fine backheel from Florian Wirtz in that sweeping attack, with Andrich touching it on into the path of Schick, who threaded the needle with his shot passing through the legs of a Frankfurt defender.

SCHICK!
He scored four last weekend and needed just a glimpse of the goal to get his first this evening!

FRANKFURT ON THE FRONT FOOT

Last Sunday's final game of the weekend brought six goals in the first 37 minutes. Can something similar happen this Sunday?
