Match Highlights
Florian Wirtz was the standout performer, scoring two goals—one from open play and another from the penalty spot. His composed finish opened the scoring early in the match.
Patrik Schick, maintaining his strong form, added to the tally with a goal of his own to ensure Boniface will have to work harder when he returns.

Tim Kleindienst managed a late consolation goal for M’gladbach during injury time, but it was too little to change the outcome of the game.
Leverkusen’s victory marked their 11th consecutive win, showing their resilience and depth in the squad even without Boniface, who has been sidelined for the season due to an injury sustained while playing for Nigeria.
Victor Boniface is back in training but is expected back on the pitch later this month.
His compatriot Nathan Tella also played a significant role in the match, contributing to Leverkusen’s attacking efforts.
The defending champions now sit just four points behind Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table, with their current form suggesting they are strong contenders for the title this season.
