Bayer Leverkusen still undefeated. They were losing to Borussia until the 97th minute…
There was a goalless draw at Signal Iduna Park for a long time. In the first half, the guests from Leverkusen were closer to opening the score. Jeremie Frimpong fell in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty following VAR analysis. Then Alejandro Grimaldo created two great chances, but he missed twice. On the other side of the pitch, Marcel Sabitzer fired a dangerous shot at Bayer’s goal. However, Hradecky made an excellent save in goal.
After the change of sides, there were few clear opportunities. It was only nine minutes before the end of the regular game that Niclas Fuellkrug scored. The Borussia forward received a brilliant cross from Marcel Sabitzer and shot a volley from a few meters away. He sent the ball powerfully into the window and it seemed that it would end Bayer’s winning series.
Bayern extended the series in dramatic circumstances. The players fell into ecstasy
The new German champions mightn’t answer for a long time. However, the referee extended the match by 10 minutes and they took full advantage of it. In the eighth minute of added time, they won a corner kick, which was taken by Florian Wirtz. He sent a high cross and Josip Stanisić jumped highest in the penalty area. The defender hit the ball hard with his head and directed it perfectly into Kobel’s goal. After a while, the Bayer players went into a frenzy of joy. Everyone, as one, rushed to the visitors’ sector to celebrate the point together. Even reserve players and coach Xabi Alonso joined them.
Shortly followingwards, the referee ended the match and it ended in a 1-1 draw. With four rounds left, Bayer is 14 points ahead of second-place Bayern Munich. Borussia is fifth in the table with a 23-point start.
