In the first match of the German Bundesliga, Kasper Hjulmand began with a victory. His team, Bayer Leverkusen, defeated Frankfurt 3-1 in their opening game. Alex Grimaldo scored two stunning free-kick goals, leading Leverkusen to a strong win.
Grimaldo gave Leverkusen the lead with a free kick in the 10th minute. Just before halftime, a penalty from Patrik Schick made it 2-0. In the second half, Frankfurt managed to score one goal through an effort from Kaan Ayhan.
However, in the 75th minute, captain Robert Andrich received a red card, which was a setback for Leverkusen. Later in injury time, Esquiel Fernández also saw red, leaving Leverkusen with nine players. Despite this, the team held strong against Frankfurt, and Grimaldo’s second free-kick goal ensured their victory. This win under the new coach is a promising start for Leverkusen.
