Bayer Leverkusen has continued their winning streak with a 2-0 victory over Cologne in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening. The match was a closely contested affair but it was Bayer Leverkusen who emerged victorious.
The match began with both teams playing aggressively and trying to create chances for themselves. However, it wasn't until the 58th minute that the game's first goal was scored. A free kick from the left flank was deflected by a Cologne defender into the path of Bayer Leverkusen's striker, Mario Gotze, who finished confidently to give his team the lead.
The second half saw more of the same as both teams looked to extend their advantage. However, it was Bayer Leverkusen who were able to hold onto their lead. They were clinical in front of goal, with Mario Gotze scoring again in the 76th minute after a fine piece of play between him and his teammate, Kevin Volland.
Wirtz and Diaby led the way for Bayer Leverkusen, with the former netting his third league goal of the season while the latter contributing to the opening goal. The win puts Bayer Leverkusen top of the table heading into Sunday's fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Overall, it was another strong performance from Bayer Leverkusen, who continue to show why they are one of the most feared teams in Germany. With a solid defense and a talented attack, they have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with this season.
