Leverkusen To Be Crowned Bundesliga Champions Next Week If They Beat Werder Bremen

There was a hint of a title contest on the 28th matchday of the Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen came to Union Berlin’s home with a 13-point lead and the goal of preserving its amazing momentum and unblemished record.

Robin Gosens’ ejection (45th +3) was used by dominating Xabi Alonso’s players to achieve numerical dominance.

Shortly after, Odilon Kossounou scored in a scramble, but the goal was called back for an offside position.

The referee’s ruling was reversed, though, by a handball that occurred just before the offside position, and a penalty was given.

Florian Wirtz found the net (1-0, 45th +8) without any errors. By remaining strong in the second half and winning 1-0, Bayer Leverkusen advanced into the championship.

Next Sunday’s matchup with Werder Bremen would mean victory for Bayer Leverkusen and their first German championship. Bayern Munich, again behind the top by 13 points, aimed to close the difference and, more importantly, turn around following their 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund the previous weekend.

Following a dull opening thirty minutes, the Rekordmeister picked up speed and scored two goals in as many minutes, with Harry Kane in the 38th and Serge Gnabry in the 45th.

However, just as an easy win appeared inevitable, Tim Kleindienst’s and Kevin Sessa’s goals at the 50th and 51st minute respectively set off a tumultuous opening to the second half. [CONTINUE READING HERE]
