⚽HOW DID THE MATCH GO?

German football sensation, leader, with one foot on the title and now with the country’s longest unbeaten record, Bayer Leverkusen beat Mainz, but not easily.

Two minutes into the first half, Grimaldo, on the right wing, attempts a cross, but is blocked. Elsewhere, again from outside the area, Xhaka hits a nice left-footed shot, scoring a great goal, with no escape for goalkeeper Zentner.

The beginning of the dispute showed that it would be a game. Shortly afterwards, in the 7th minute, Mainz equalized through Kohr. From a free kick, Widmer headed to the center of the area and found the defender ready to head the ball into the net.

ALL EQUAL!

The turning point came only in the second half, in the 22nd minute, with a nice ‘chicken’ from the goalkeeper. In exchange for passes to the center, Andrich took a shot from distance and saw Robin Zentner unable to hold onto the ball and let it pass into the goal.
