바이엘 레버쿠젠 vs RB 라이프치히

Bayer Leverkusen made light work of RB Leipzig at the BayArena, cruising to a 2-0 win built on a moment of individual brilliance from Patrik Schick. The Czech striker's acrobatic finish right before the break set the tone, and the hosts never looked back. Schick broke the deadlock in the 45th minute, turning home Miguel Gutierrez's left-wing cross with an outstretched finish. Leipzig had already seen a Christopher Nkunku effort chalked off for offside. Gutierrez doubled the lead in the 57th minute, pouncing on a poorly cleared cross from Ibrahim Maza for a low, near-post finish. Leipzig also lost Brajan Gruda to an early injury. The win keeps Leverkusen among the Bundesliga's top sides, with Gutierrez and Maza both catching the eye. For Leipzig, it's a costly defeat to a direct rival, having failed to make the most of their best chance.
