Bayer Leverkusen beat Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening, with the match ending 1-0 to the hosts. The victory was the first for Leverkusen since August 2019, and it came at the expense of Dortmund's star forward Erling Haaland.
The match started off well for Dortmund, but they struggled to create any clear-cut opportunities. Leverkusen, on the other hand, were clinical in front of goal, scoring their only goal in the 75th minute through a header from substitute Julian Weigl.
Haaland, who had been heavily praised before the game, was not able to find the back of the net despite several attempts. Despite this, he still managed to score two goals against his former club last season, which has led to some controversy.
Schick and Wirtz, who have both recently joined Leverkusen from RB Leipzig, shone brightly on the night. Schick scored the winning goal, while Wirtz provided an assist for the goal. Both players showed their quality and potential as they continued to impress in the Bundesliga.
Overall, it was a good result for Leverkusen, who will be hoping to continue their good form in the coming matches. They now face Hoffenheim next week, a team that they have beaten in the past. It will be interesting to see how they fare against them and if they can continue their success in the Bundesliga.
