The match will start soon, this is a highly anticipated match. And as you have said, I also hope that both teams can provide fierce resistance throughout the match until the referee blows the long whistle.

In this match as usual Borussia Dortmund used the 4-1-3-2 formation, a formation that carries a balance between attack and defense. but bayern leverkusen is not as usual, alonso made a change in formation in his team, where usually using 3-4-2-1 formation, a formation that is quite tiring for midfielders, because they not only have to help in attacking but also in defending. In this match alonso applied 4-4-2 formation, so they can be more balanced in attack and defense.

What a great performance shown by Leverkusen in this match, I didn't think a quick goal could happen but in fact Leverkusen could do it where in the 1st minute they were already leading with a quick goal from Tella. The current score is 2-3 and it's time for the match to end and I think Leverkusen spirit is getting hotter in the Bundesliga this season.

Xabi alonso managed to maintain his great performance because they continued to record wins. The match against dortmund was certainly a tough match but they managed to beat Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park stadium. The additional 3 points are quite meaningful because they are back to sticking closely to bayern munich at the top of the standings. bayern munich is getting more pressured, they have to be able to get 3 points in tomorrow's match if they fail then Leverkusen can take over the standings in the upcoming matches.

What a match and great performance from both teams. However, in a match there must be a winner when both teams are fighting for all three points. Leverkusen should that the are the defending champions today with how they outsmarted Dortmund in the first half and allow them to struggle all through in the second half with a consolidation goal to end the match 3-2.
