37' Hugo Ekitike (Eintracht Frankfurt) 1-3
Trailing by three, Eintracht Frankfurt pulled one back in the 37th minute through Hugo Ekitike. Coming just four minutes after Leverkusen's third goal, it cut the score to 1-3 and would remain the home side's only goal of the afternoon.
62' Aleix García (Bayer Leverkusen) 1-4
With the score at 1-3 in the second half, Aleix García restored Bayer Leverkusen's three-goal cushion in the 62nd minute.
