Leverkusen have won the German Super Cup and it was hell of a work honestly.
Because they got a red card in the first half but this still didn't stop them. Even though Stuttgart got ahead, they came back and won by penalties. Xabi Alonso is continuing on his magical run. Starting the season with trophy must be feeling superb for the whole team and the fans.It is good to see that the same spirit exists among the players. Maybe another unbeaten run is about to start...
They were so calm after playing with only 10 men since the 37th minute, even though Stuttgart could control the game and keep attacking but they were able to play focused so that Stuttgart had a hard time breaking through their defense. At first I thought it might be their defeat after Stuttgart could score a goal early in the second half, but they kept trying and working hard so that they could score a goal back so that the score became 2-2 and that lasted until the end.
I saw that they had the mentality, because it is not easy to play with 10 men while the opposing team played with a full number of players. If they did not have a good mentality, I think Stuttgart would be able to beat them and maybe even score more than 2 goals.
