Continuation of the 31st day of the Bundesliga and at home, the champion, Bayer Leverkusen wanted to continue their invincibility. Xabi Alonso’s men had a big game against them since Stuttgart was third and could almost validate their qualification for the Champions League in the event of a victory. If the 45 minutes were rhythmic despite a score of 0-0, everything got out of hand when we returned from the locker room. Following a shot repelled by Lukas Hradecky, Chris Fuhrich followed well and opened the counter (1-0, 47th).

Surprised, Bayer Leverkusen was going to be fooled again since Enzo Millot ideally launched Deniz Undav who was quick to double the lead (2-0, 57th). In the tough, Bayer Leverkusen was not going to give up and Amine Adli was going to quickly reduce the gap (62nd). The Werkself pushed and even went to equalize, but Odilon Kossounou’s goal was refused for offside (79th). Bayer Leverkusen pushed until the last seconds and finally at the end of added time, Robert Andrich would snatch the equalizer (2-2, 90th +7). It is now a 46th match in a row without defeat for Xabi Alonso’s players with this 2-2 draw. For Stuttgart, this point remains important since the Swabians are only one victory away from qualifying for the Champions League.
