Jeremie Frimpong scores and assists in Bayer Leverkusen’s win against Leipzig

Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Jeremie Agyekum Frimpong scored and assisted in Bayer Leverkusen’s 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga’s opening matches on Saturday.

Jonathan Tah added a second goal for the home team ten minutes after Frimpong’s spectacular right-footed strike that gave Leverkusen the lead in the 24th minute.

Before the interval, Leipzig’s in-form Dani Olmo cut the lead to 2-1 to conclude the first half.

However, in the 64th minute of the game, Frimpong set up Florian Wirtz to give Bayer Leverkusen their two-goal advantage back.

Leverkusen won 3-2 despite a goal by Lois Openda in the 71st minute.

After playing for 78 minutes, the 22-year-old was substituted by Arthur Augusto De Matos Soares.
