LEVERKUSEN, Germany (Reuters) -Bayer Leverkusen battled past strugglers VfL Bochum 3-1 thanks to two second-half goals on Friday to cut the gap with Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich to three points.
Goals from Victor Boniface on the hour and Amine Adli in the 87th minute sealed the win and lifted the second-placed reigning champions, who face third-tier Arminia Bielefeld in the German Cup semi-finals on Tuesday, to 59 points with seven games left.
