He Bayern Leverkusen continues on an unstoppable path. In the match against Unión Berlin they won 0-1 to add 41 games without defeat. A purpose of Florian Wirtz The penalty in added time of the first half, with VAR review, gave the German team the victory in a very difficult match between xabi alonso who could be champions the next day thanks to Bayern Munich’s defeat. It was the ninth consecutive victory in the Bundesliga to reach the first league title in its history.
The set of Xabi Alonso is about to achieve an unprecedented feat. After finishing five runners-up in the competition, they could become the first team in the history of the Bundesliga (created in 1963) to finish a season without defeat. A big challenge. Two points now separate the Spanish coach’s team from victory. On the next date, against Werder Bremen at the Bay Arena, he will get the goal if Bayern go down again.
The fight began at the first warning of Borja Iglesias three minutes into the game, but his control was a little too long and the shot went over. After ten minutes, he intervened Ronnow with a stop of Grimaldo, looking for a long stick. Borja tried again in the 13th minute with a great header in the middle of the area: he perfectly anticipated Doekhi. He came out a bit in the middle, but Ronnow stopped hard.
Leverkusen dominated the match. Grimaldo sent the ball wide after a Leverkusen steal high up and capitalized on Tella’s attack on the half-hour mark. He had to finish with his right foot and the ball went wide in the clearest chance of the game.
In the 33rd minute he asked for a change Hlozek after twisting the ankle and unable to continue. And in the 47th minute came the most controversial play in the dismissal of Gosens. Tella lost speed and fell desperately to the ground. It could have been worse, because he almost committed a penalty.
In added time the first half had it all. First there was the goal disallowed against Leverkusen due to Adli being offside before Kossounou’s shot, followed by the slight controversy of Hincapie’s shot being handled by Trimmel with his hand inside the area. The referee reviewed the game on VAR and declared a penalty for Leverkusen. Wirtz did not miss from eleven meters. At 0-1 this break was reached.
In the second half, the same script followed, with a very insistent Borja Iglesias looking for the second in the 48th minute. Ronnow anticipated well, but the action was called off for offside. Union Berlin was overwhelmed at this time. With one less player he had to take a few steps back and Leverkusen never stopped pressing in attack. The game declined in this second half, although Leverkusen managed to expand and seal it with the chance Amine Adli and another by Nathan Tella, a quarter of an hour before closing.
