by Bayer Leverkusen dominated and beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in a vital match for their league title aspirations. After this victory, Xabi Alonso’s men have moved to five points alone at the top of the Bundesliga.
The match for the throne started timidly on the part of both teams, aware of the offensive potential they had in front of them and not wanting to take unnecessary risks. As the minutes went by, it was Bayern who began to amass more of the ball in their own half, but Thomas Tuchel’s men were unable to get close to danger zones, with Leverkusen well positioned and with clear ideas behind them.
It was then that Florian Wirtz, the magician of this Bayer Leverskusen team, waved his wand for the first time in a drive that almost turned into an assist. Immediately afterwards and after taking the ball from the corner, Robert Andrich put an excellent low ball to the far post where his teammate Josip Stanisisc was waiting to finish completely alone on goal for the goal that opened the scoring (1-0) Upamecano and Boey, portrayed in defense.

The first half of the match left us little else, with a Bavarian team unable to threaten Hradecky’s goal, who was having a peaceful afternoon at the BayArena. Sané, Kane or Musiala, the Bavarians’ top offensive references, did not scratch the ball in the area and their role was testimonial in the first 45 minutes.
The passage through the locker room did not alter the script, and On this occasion it was Alejandro Grimaldo who made it 2-0 on the scoreboard after a magnificent combination with Nathan Tella from the left flank. The Spanish full-back shot Neuer’s goal and put the first nail in the attack of a Bayern that looked like a punching bag. He alone received blows and did not answer any of them.
Frimpong put the icing on the cake with a ‘great goal’ for the final 3-0 that unleashed madness at the BayArena. Leverkusen, ever closer to the long-awaited title.
