Frimpong wasted no time making an impact, scoring just two minutes into the match after a well-timed assist from Alejandro Grimaldo, giving the visitors an early lead.

Union Berlin responded in the 29th minute, equalizing through Woo-Yeong Jeong, who capitalized on a pass from Benedict Hollerbach.

The match remained tightly contested until Patrik Schick stepped up in the 71st minute to deliver the decisive goal, securing maximum points for Leverkusen.

Frimpong was substituted in the 79th minute for Nigerian international Nathan Tella after another commendable display.
