The clash at the top of the Bundesliga table turned to Leverkusen’s advantage this Saturday. Xabi Alonso’s team won 2-0.
Bayer Leverkusen’s march forward continues. This Saturday, Xabi Alonso’s team got the better of their most serious rival, namely Bayern Munich. And the success achieved cannot be disputed, as the leader of the Bundesliga showed himself superior to his opponent (3-0).
Leverkusen holds its place
From the start of the match, the locals imposed their law in this part. And there was nothing illogical about them taking the lead from the 18e minute via Josip Stanisic. The player on loan from Bayern scored strongly, and had the elegance not to celebrate against his former club.
The goal was then secured by Alex Grimaldo, five minutes after the restart. Taking advantage of a pass from Tella, the Spaniard deceived Manuel Neuer’s vigilance. With a two-goal lead, the game seemed to be over.
Bayern did not exist
At no time were Bayern able to fight back. Harry Kane, the English star, was even particularly discreet. The reigning champion even ended up sinking at the end of the match. Jérémy Frimpong manhandled the Bavarians. First by hitting the post (88th), then by signing an exceptional rush on a counter, concluded by a victorious strike from 30 meters.
With this victory, Leverkusen extends its lead over Bayern to five points. The title of German champion, the very first in its history, now awaits him even if there are still 13 days to go.
