Bayer Leverkusen continued their impressive streak in the Bundesliga by securing a 2-0 victory against Augsburg on Saturday. This win marks their fourth consecutive league triumph, propelling them to the second spot in the standings.
Leverkusen's recent success isn't limited to domestic competitions. Their midweek 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League has boosted the team's confidence, contributing to their seven-game winning run across all tournaments.
The match began energetically for Leverkusen, with Martin Terrier finding the back of the net in the 14th minute, giving the home team an early advantage. Despite a brief lull that allowed Augsburg some breathing room, Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz doubled the lead with a precise low drive at the 40th minute, securing the victory.
This triumph extends Leverkusen's unbeaten streak in away Bundesliga matches to an impressive 24 games, second only to Bayern Munich's record. Under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen now sits comfortably with 29 points, trailing the league leaders Bayern by four points, especially after Bayern's recent 2-1 loss to Mainz 05 — their first league defeat this season.
