LEVERKUSEN, Germany — Bayer Leverkusen has kept pace with Bundesliga leader Bayern Munich by beating Hoffenheim 3-1 with goals from Victor Boniface, Patrik Schick and Jeremie Frimpong. Boniface started for his first game since early November after recovering from a thigh injury. Leverkusen finished with 10 players after Álex Grimaldo's sending off with half an hour to play. New signings Emiliano Buendía and Mario Hermoso made their debuts as Xabi Alonso's team stayed six points behind Bayern two weeks before the top two clash in Leverkusen. Bayern defeated Holstein Kiel on Saturday. Third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt drew with Wolfsburg 1-1 in Sunday's early game.
