Struggling for positions in the "Champions" League, Leverkusen's Bayer crushed the club at the bottom, Stuttgart, with a score of 4:2. In the first half, both teams exchanged dangerous attacks, but Bayer's footballers struck first in the 41st minute. Moussa Diaby's shot was blocked, but the winger quickly corrected his shot and with a second attempt put his team ahead. However, Stuttgart's players were not quick to give up and equalized the score in the 49th minute. Orel Mangala showed great individual skill and then passed to Tiago Tomas, who beat goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. However, just three minutes later, Bayer regained the lead. After a free-kick, Amine Adli fantastically directed the ball into the far lower corner of the goal, making it 2:1. At the end of the match, three goals were scored in just 6 minutes: in the 86th minute, Florian Wirtz scored with a precise shot to the left lower corner. In the 88th minute, Stuttgart's players narrowed the gap. Tiago Tomas, with a double to his name, sent a rebounded ball into the net, making it 3:2. And all questions in this match were answered in the 90th minute by Patrik Schick. Leverkusen's forward found himself at the end of a great team attack and sent the ball into empty goal, scoring his team's fourth goal. After this victory, Bayer still stands in third place in the league table, leading the closest pursuers by 5 points. They are only two points behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund.
