It was the big shock to follow on this 2nd day of the Bundesliga, this Saturday. At the BayArena in Leverkusen, Bayer and Leipzig faced each other for one and only one objective: to temporarily take the lead in the standings following the draw conceded by Borussia Dortmund in Bremen, earlier in the day. At the end of a thrilling match and with a lot of determination, RB Leipzig managed to put an end to Bayer Leverkusen’s long unbeaten run in the league (2-3)!
If the reigning German champions took full measure of this game by settling the situation through Frimpong (1-0, 39th) before his counterpart on the right, Grimaldo made the break (2-0, 45th), the Saxons relaunched the debates on the edge of the break thanks to the reduction of the score signed by Kampl (2-1, 45th+7). Wound up like a cuckoo, Leipzig made up for their deficit following Openda’s goal (2-2, 57th). Stunning, Marco Rose’s men put a big boost in the last quarter of an hour to take control of the game, and this, for the first time since the kick-off. On a lightning counter, Openda inherited the ball at the edge of the surface from Kovar and unleashed a super-powerful strike to clean the top corner of the Czech goalkeeper’s net (2-3, 80th). A real banger from the Red Devil, scoring for the third time since the restart, allowing his team to take sole control of the standings and inflict on Bayer its first defeat in the Bundesliga since May 27… 2023!
