### Bayer Leverkusen Beats Eintracht Frankfurt in Bundesliga Round 26
In a thrilling encounter between two powerhouse teams in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen secured their spot in the next round with a convincing 4-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night.
The match kicked off at the Allianz Arena in Leverkusen, where the home side took the lead early in the first half. Christian Werner's goal from close range put Bayer ahead before halftime.
Eintracht Frankfurt tried to rally, but their attempts were few and far between. The visitors struggled to find any rhythm and kept making costly mistakes. Their poor defending allowed Leverkusen to maintain control of the game.
In the second half, the momentum shifted in favor of Leverkusen. Thomas Müller scored twice, his first goal coming after a clever through ball from Julian Brandt. His second goal was an unassisted effort that sealed the win for the hosts.
Walter Wirtz, who had been absent due to injury, made his return to action and scored his first league goal for the club in this match. His strike provided an extra boost to the home crowd and further solidified Leverkusen's position in the table.
The victory extended Leverkusen's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to seven matches, which is a remarkable achievement considering they have faced some tough opposition along the way. The team's consistent performance has earned them confidence in the upcoming season.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt will need to reflect on this loss and work hard to improve their form. They still have a strong chance to qualify for the Europa League if they can bounce back quickly, but it will be a tall order given the quality of the competition.
With this win, Bayer Leverkusen move up to third place in the Bundesliga standings, while Eintracht Frankfurt remain sixth. The rest of the league will now turn their attention to the upcoming fixtures, as the race for top positions intensifies.
