In the end, the team led by the Swiss Gerardo Seoane finished with the three points in their pocket and settled in third position in the Bundesliga. He was happy after adding only two points out of the last twelve possible and now he hopes to continue his streak so as not to drop from the top of the table.
Leverkusen cemented their long-awaited victory in the second half. Everything happened in her. Schick started by missing a penalty, Robert Andrich corrected his teammate’s mistake with a shot coming off a corner and later, Schick himself, redeemed himself with a header in the 74th minute with which he raised the score to 0-2. He signed his eighteenth goal in the Bundesliga this season and is the second top scorer only behind the Polish Robert Lewandowski.
However, the ‘Gladbach’, in a last rush, put his rival on the ropes. Nico Elvedi scored with ten minutes to go and, during that time, Leverkusen were able to put an end to the agony, but Karem Demirbay missed another penalty that added a little more uncertainty to a clash that ultimately favored Seoane’s men.
