In Germany, Leverkusen's "Bayer" humiliated Dortmund's "Borussia" football players with a score of 5:2. In the first half, the guests seemed powerless. The Dortmund football players could not find their game rhythm after barely getting one shot in the entire half. Already in the 11th minute after the catastrophic Zagadou mistake, "Bayer" took over the ball near the opponents' goal. Patrick Schick, in a comfortable position, took a shot that the goalkeeper deflected to defender Manuel Akanji, whose touch sent the ball into their own goal. However, just 5 minutes later, the guests responded with an own goal. Trying to clear the ball, Jeremie Frimpong sent it into his own goal with his head.
In the remaining part of the first half, "Bayer" football players dominated. Just two minutes after the missed goal, they regained the lead. Lightning-fast counter-attacks pierced the opponents' defense, and Florian Wirtz found himself in the attacker's position and disarmed opponent's goalkeeper Gregor Kobel with a low shot. In the 28th minute, the score became 3:1. Leverkusen's goalkeeper Robert Andrich performed a precise penalty kick, sending the ball to the top corner of the goal.
In the second half, the Dortmund football players looked slightly better, but their opponents continued to ruthlessly capitalize on available opportunities. In the 53rd minute, Jonathan Tah brilliantly caught the ball with his left foot in the air, sending it into the top corner of the goal unstoppable for the opponent's goalkeeper. The score became 4:1.
By the 87th minute, the scoreboard showed disgraceful numbers. "Bayer" forward Moussa Diaby received a pass in the penalty area and calmly sent it to the bottom right corner of the goal, scoring his team's fifth goal. However, a few minutes later, the Dortmund team players managed to score a goal themselves. Steffen Tigges received the ball in the penalty area and directed it into the goal.
After these matches, "Bayer," who is in third place, reduced the gap from the second-placed "Borussia" football players to 5 points.
