Bayer Leverkusen 2-2 VfB Stuttgart: Xabi Alonso's Team Maintained Their Unbeaten Run With An Extra-Time Goal
This comeback follows their recent trend of scoring late goals, as they also managed to dig deep and find an equalizer against Borussia Dortmund in their previous match last week.
Current Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen have maintained their unbeaten run with a last-minute equalizer through Robert Andrich. Stuttgart scored the first goal early in the second half when Chris Führich found the back of the net, and when just 9 minutes later Deniz Undav added another one to the goal tally of the visitors, it looked like Xabi Alonso's team would finally face defeat for the very first time this season.
In the 61st minute, Bayern Leverkusen reduced Stuttgart's lead in half when Amine Adli got the better of Alexander Nuebel, making it 2-1. The game opened up after that, as both teams had chances of their own. Nuebel made three crucial saves to maintain Stuttgart's lead, as they were determined to snap Bayer Leverkusen's unbeaten streak. Leverkusen's goalkeeper, Hradecky, also had to be at his brilliant best when he had to deny Serhou Guirassy from making it 3-1 in the 87th minute.
