The Argentinian alexis canelo scored a goal on Tuesday to give up Toluca of Mexican football a 1-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen of the Bundesliga in a friendly match. At the Nemesio Díez stadium in Toluca, at 2,600 meters above sea level, Toluca and Bayer Leverkusen offer intense play, with constant arrivals.
Bayer’s most dangerous options were created by Iranian Sardar Azmoun; at 31 he reached the last line on the right, crossed and in the interception Haret Ortega narrowly scored on his goal. In the 38th minute he tried a shot from outside the area which was denied by goalkeeper Luis García. Toluca responded in the 42nd minute. Alexis Canelo received the ball inside the area, cut Jonathan Tah and declared his left foot 1-0.
In the second half, Bayer Leverkusen went for the equalizer. Brazilian Paulinho was compelled to appear on the left, but it was difficult for him to find a finisher for his centers. In the 68th minute the visiting team tried it through with service from the right of Frenchman Moussa Diaby who finished the Argentinean Exequiel Palacios right with just the width.
In response, in the 70th minute, Ian González missed the lost ball within the small area. He received it alone, with the defeated goalkeeper, but with his inexplicable shot to the side. The fight was part of celebrations organized by the pharmaceutical company Bayer, owner of the German group, for 100 years of stay in Mexico.
Bayer Leverkusen finished in third place in the Bundesliga in the 2021-2022 season, a position that gives them the right to play in the Champions League next season. Toluca finished 15th out of 18 teams in the Mexican tournament.
