Future opponent of Stade Brestois, Bayer Leverkusen was held (2-2) by the promoted Holstein Kiel on Saturday in the Bundesliga.
A little over two weeks before the Champions League match against the Brest “ogre”, co-leader of the general standings, Bayer Leverkusen continues to show signs of fragility in the Bundesliga. The reigning champions were held (2-2) on Saturday at home by Holstein Kiel. Xabi Alonso’s men led 2 to 0 thanks to goals from Victor Boniface (4th) and Jonas Hofmann (8th), before being caught by Max Geschwill goals before the break (45th+5) and a penalty converted by Jann Fiete Arp (69th).
The magic of added time, decisive last season during the epic journey to the title, did not work this time. This is the second draw this season for Leverkusen, which gives Bayern Munich the opportunity to take a 5-point lead in the event of a victory on Sunday at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayer suitable for Brest?
Stade Brestois will host Bayer Leverkusen in Brittany on October 23, with no doubt the feeling that this team is much more manageable than last year, when it walked on water.
In the other matches of the afternoon, Dortmund was beaten (2-1) at Union Berlin, Wolfsburg won in Bochum (1-3), while Friborg confirmed its great start to the season with a success on the pitch of Werder Bremen
