FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) Kevin-Prince Boateng scored against Borussia Moenchengladbach once more to help Eintracht Frankfurt move up to second place in the Bundesliga with a 2-0 home win on Friday.

The midfielder, who scored in Frankfurt's win away to Moenchengladbach earlier this season, made the breakthrough just before halftime when Timmy Chandler surged past `Gladbach midfielder Patrick Herrmann on the left and picked him out with a cross.

Herrmann grazed the crossbar early in the second half, and Thorgan Hazard struck it again with a penalty later after Boateng brought Lars Stindl down from behind.

Forward Luka Jovic sealed Frankfurt's win in injury time.

`Gladbach dropped down to sixth place on goal difference.

Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke, Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund can all overtake Frankfurt after this weekend's matches.
