Defender Jeremie Frimpong provided an assist in Bayer Leverkusen's 3-2 defeat to French side AS Monaco in the Europa League knockout round first leg at the BayArena on Thursday evening.
The visitors started brightly on the road as Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky fumbled the ball into the wrong goal whilst under pressure from Monaco striker Breel Embolo nine minutes into the encounter.
The hosts started dominantly in the second half and leveled the scores in the 48th minute after Moussa Diaby made the most of Jeremie Frimpong's and Florian Wirtz's good build-up work.
Monaco couldn't resist, whereas Wirtz completed Leverkusen's comeback 11 minutes later after finishing off a solo run through the visitor's defense to get the 2-1 lead.
The visitors recovered and restored parity out of the blue in the 74th minute when Diatta's well-placed curl caught Hradecky flat-footed.
In injury time, things went from bad to worse for Leverkusen as Monaco snatched the winner courtesy of Axel Disasi's long-rang bouncing ball.
