LEVERKUSEN, Germany :Teenager Christian Kofane scored his maiden Bundesliga goal as Bayer Leverkusen eased past Union Berlin 2-0 on Saturday to move into the top four with their second league win in a row.

Leverkusen, missing injured top striker Patrik Schick, initially struggled to break down the Berliners' defence until Ernest Poku tapped in from 10 metres following a perfectly executed attack.

Kofane, a Cameroon Under-20 international, made sure of only their second home league win this season four minutes after the break, pouncing on a mistake by Union keeper Frederik Ronnow.

The 19-year-old's first league goal came three days after scoring his first goal in the Champions League in a 1-1 draw against PSV Eindhoven.
