Leverkusen being Leverkusen. With their first German title, Bayer Leverkusen kicked off the Bundesliga campaign at Borussia M’gladbach and things were looking grim, but, as happened countless times last season, Xabi Alonso’s team managed to pull off the win… deep into added time.

Granit Xhaka opened the scoring in the match and in the German championship with a stunning goal in the 12th minute against his former team and Florian Wirtz doubled the lead close to half-time in the 38th minute, taking a good lead into the dressing room.

However, the visitors reacted within the first 15 minutes through Elvedi , who, at the second attempt, reduced the deficit following a corner

This happened after the game was suspended by the refereeing team during the first minutes of the second half, due to the behavior of the home fans who threw smoke all over the stadium, which impaired the visibility of the players.

The equaliser came from the feet of Kleindienst , who had already put the ball in the back of the net at the end of the first half – which was eventually disallowed for a foul by VAR – five minutes before the end of regular time.

Even so, Leverkusen managed to find a way to regain the lead and secure their first three points. Adli conceded a penalty, which was only awarded with the intervention of VAR, and Wirtz had the opportunity to score twice in the game… in the 90+11th minute. The young German missed the penalty kick, or rather, it was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, but on the rebound he fired it into the back of the net.
