Watch: Boniface: "We have to win games like this"

The Nigerian striker emphasised the importance of winning difficult fixtures following his side's 2-1 win over a Frankfurt side that were full of confidence going into the game.

Watch: Alonso: "A great mental effort"

Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso praised his side's mental fortitude having come back from behind to win against in-form Frankfurt.

Full-time: Leverkusen 2-1 Frankfurt

Leverkusen get there in the end thanks to a strong second-half performance but Frankfurt will feel like this is a missed opportunity. Boniface missed an early penalty before Marmoush converted his own at the other end. Andrich then pulled the Werkself level at the break and Boniface completed the turnaround in the second-half. That could be a significant three points gained come the end of season.

+ 2

How's he missed?

A mix-up between Hrádecký and Tah sees the former's clearance hit the other and loop towards goal. Ekitiké runs onto the ball trying to head it up but is eased off it by Tah and collapses in a heap. Frankfurt very nearly gifted a late equaliser.

90'

Almost three

A superb cross from Tella out on the right is begging to be headed home but Schick can't quite reach it and the balls goes out for a throw in. We're into injury-time now.

Tella and Schick are on for Leverkusen, with the latter replacing Boniface who had an indifferent start to the day with the penalty miss but may well prove to be the match-winner. Frankfurt bring on Uzun in their final switch.

Finally, Boniface scores!

We just said he was due a goal and Leverkusen's main man may well have settled this one. Trapp, who has been outstanding all game, makes a hash of Wirtz's deflected cross and Boniface heads home from a yard out. He's deserved that goal.

Andrich hits the post!

An excellent layoff from Boniface and even better strike from Andrich on his left foot that beats Trapp but not the post. Leverkusen almost bundle the rebound home, too, but Frankfurt survive.

Still all square

There's been a slower pace to the first 15 minutes of the second-half. Frankfurt have seen plenty of the ball but Leverkusen look a lot more solid, each team feeling the other at the minute.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals> xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals> goals).

Over from Boniface

The first chance of the second-half and it's Boniface who has it but he can only head Terrier's cross from the right over the bar. The Nigerian was at full stretch and just couldn't keep it down.

Back underway in Leverkusen

Here's hoping for another thrilling half of football...

後半開始

Half-time: Leverkusen 1-1 Frankfurt

It's honours even at the break, much to the frustration of Leverkusen coach Alonso, who saw Boniface miss an early penalty before Marmoush converted from the spot to put Eintracht ahead. Andrich's superb effort pulled Leverkusen level before Ekitiké then had a goal ruled out. It was open, exciting and everything we hoped for. A great half of football.

Ekitiké effort ruled out

Ekitiké is denied a stunner by the offside flag. He caresses the ball into the far corner but Dina Ebimbe, the man who set up the striker, strayed beyond the Leverkusen defence moments before.

Trapp almost caught out

Andrich spots Trapp off his line and has a go at goal from inside his own half which has Trapp scrambling. It curls just wide of the post to spare the Frankfurt keeper's blushes.

What a goal, this is. Andrich starts and finishes a flowing team goal that saw Leverkusen put together a number of one-two passes. Eventually, Terrier tees up Andrich in the box, who passes into the far corner.

Trapp denies Boniface again

There's a superb touch from Boniface on his chest before swinging his left foot round to take aim at goal but he's under pressure, the angle is tight and Trapp is up to the challenge. The subsequent corner sees Xhaka left fly once more but it's wide.

Six on the trot

Marmoush has now scored in each of his last six Bundesliga matches and has nine for the season - four more than any other player. What a start to the season he's had.

Marmoush puts Eintracht ahead

Marmoush makes no mistake from the penalty spot, thrashing it low into the bottom corner. This was billed as a battle between Boniface and Marmoush before kick-off and it's the latter who's come out on top so far.

It's all going on at the BayArena and it's the visitors who have a chance from the spot now...

Off the post!

Eintracht have responded superbly since the penalty miss and the in-form Marmoush lashes one from outside the box which beats Hradecký but rattles the left-hand post and rebounds to safety. That would have been a screamer.

He's missed it!

Well, well, well, Boniface takes a poor penalty and it's an easy safe for Trapp to make. It's remains 0-0 and that is a major let-off for Frankfurt.

What's at stake?

Well, a win for Leverkusen would see them leapfrog Frankfurt and move them level with Bayern Munich at the top ahead of their meeting with VfB Stuttgart later on. The visitors, meanwhile, would move two points clear of Bayern with victory and could claim them top spot for the time being depending on how RB Leipzig (second, and level on points with the Bavarians) fare against Mainz.

More on those teams

The big news in the Leverkusen ranks is that Wirtz starts from the bench after picking up an injury on international duty, with Adli starting alongside Terrier behind Boniface. Hincapié comes into centre-back, allowing Andrich to return to midfield. Frankfurt make four changes from the side that drew with Bayern last time out, one of which sees Götze come into midfield.

Scene is set in Leverkusen

The BayArena looks glorious, bathed in Autumnal sunshine ahead of today's meeting between hosts Leverkusen and visitors Frankfurt. It should be a cracker of a fixture and we'll have teams news dropping shortly.

Xabi Alonso on facing Eintracht

"Frankfurt are in great form and are a good opponent. It's important not to forget what we have done well or badly in the past. We know what happened against Kiel and we don't want that to happen again. We will need our best performance"

Dino Toppmöller on facing Leverkusen:

"We have weapons to hurt the opponents, but at the same time we know how hard it is against Bayer Leverkusen. They play incredibly good football. It's always nice to be able to test ourselves against the very top teams."

Watch: The story of Omar Marmoush

From growing up in Cairo to starring in the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt, we trace the roots of Egypt international Omar Marmoush.

Wirtz injured on international duty

It seems likely that playmaker Florian Wirtz will miss this match after suffering an ankle injury in the first half of Germany's UEFA Nations League assignment against the Netherlands on Monday evening. The club have not yet given a timeline as to when he can return to training, so an outing on Saturday does not appear to be on the cards.
