Snip

Leverkusen have only played two matches this season although the defeat really surprised many people because indeed many people did not expect Leverkusen to lose at home when facing Leipzig. And because this is Leverkusen's first defeat to Leipzig at home, I will not immediately doubt Leverkusen for this season because there are many matches that can still be considered as opportunities for Leverkusen to return to the top. I really have no doubts about Xabi Alonso's order even though it is true that when facing Leipzig, Xabi Alonso's team did not play very well.

I wasn't actually surprised with that result because I was expecting a draw match initially. Leipzig looks good this season more than Leverkusen despite the league is just starting. In their first match, they were on red card just like yesterday and they still won, again, it happens yesterday. What is surprising me is how Leverkusen allowed Leipzig to do come back on a two goals with red card from first half and then manage to score the third goal. It is good to kill off the game as early as possible and not depending on the last minute miracle as usual because it's not sustainable. Imagine having more than 25 shots and still lost the game! Leverkusen need to work on their finishing.

a draw?
I didn't even think that it would happen when Leverkusen was the opponent of Leipzig, but indeed what happened in that match certainly surprised all of us, Leipzig who in the last two seasons had difficulty beating Leverkusen but in yesterday match they managed to get 3 points and the most impressive thing is that Leipzig became the first Bundesliga team to break Leverkusen record of consecutive wins in the domestic league so far, The last time Leverkusen lost was when they faced Bochum in the 2022/23 season, after the defeat they actually performed very impressive unbeaten until in the end Leipzig gave them their first defeat in 462 days as I read in some media today, Leverkusen actually played quite well as usual and even in the first half they had a 2-0 lead over Leipzig but the comeback that was previously often done by Leverkusen is now Leipzig is doing and I think how painful it is Grin
