The improbable is going at full speed for the first championship in its history this year, Bayer Leverkusen!
Xabi Alonso’s team came very close to their first defeat of the season, however, in the finale they showed character… a champion and the metal they are made of, pulling off a super upset over Hoffenheim (2-1) at “BayArena” for the 27th matchday of the Bundesliga!
The “aspirins” found themselves back in the 33rd minute with Bayer’s goal, for Adrik to come in the 88th minute and Chic in the first minute of stoppage time to turn things around! Somehow, Bayer remained unbeaten in the league, moving to +13 from second placed Bayern Munich who have a match in hand.
In the remaining matches of the day, Leipzig got stuck in the “white” draw at home with Mainz, while the Freiburg celebrated a great double with 3-0 over Gladbach.
