1. എഫ്‌സി കൊൽൻ vs ബയർ 04 ലെവർകൂസെൻ

Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 at FC Köln on Sunday, though the visitors had to survive a nervy finish after leading by two goals until stoppage time. Aleix García gave Leverkusen the lead in the 7th minute with a free kick from about 20 metres, and the ball went in without a touch from anyone else. Patrik Schick had a goal ruled out for handball around the 81st minute, but he made no mistake four minutes later. Ibrahim Maza set him up on the edge of the box and Schick placed it into the left corner. Köln got one back in the 92nd minute. Malek El Mala crossed from the right and his brother Saïd El Mala volleyed in from five metres. Referee Felix Zwayer was busy, showing 11 yellow cards in all and no reds. Köln also appealed for a penalty just before the hour, but replays showed no real contact. The win lifts Leverkusen to fifth with 16 points from nine games. Köln are 15th on nine points, with four defeats so far.
