Bayer Leverkusen stretched their lead at the summit of the Bundesliga table, moving eight points clear of second-placed Bayern Munich, following a hard-fought victory against mid-table Heidenheim. Jeremie Frimpong’s deflected effort and Amine Adli’s clinical finish secured a crucial win for Xabi Alonso’s unbeaten side.
The breakthrough came just before halftime when Jeremie Frimpong found the back of the net with a deflected effort, giving Leverkusen a slender lead as they headed into the break. Amine Adli doubled the advantage after the interval, showcasing his composure by rounding goalkeeper Kevin Muller before calmly slotting home.
Despite a late consolation goal from Tim Kleindienst for Heidenheim, Leverkusen managed to maintain their lead and secure all three points. The victory extends Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten streak to a record-equalling 32 games, matching Bayern Munich’s feat under Hansi Flick from 2019 to 2020.
With their sights set on their first-ever Bundesliga title, Leverkusen’s relentless pursuit of success under Xabi Alonso has positioned them as serious contenders for the championship. Having previously finished as runners-up on multiple occasions, Leverkusen’s current form and determination suggest that this could be their season to claim the coveted title.
