Bayer Leverkusen secured their first league victory of the season with a comprehensive 4-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday night at the Allianz Arena in Leverkusen. The result was a significant boost for Bayer's beleaguered squad, who had been struggling to find form since their disappointing start to the campaign.
The match started off as evenly matched, with both teams creating several opportunities but failing to convert them into goals. However, it wasn't long before Bayer Leverkusen struck. In the 15th minute, Schick scored his second goal of the game after receiving a pass from Jürgen Klinsmann and shooting past Wolfsburg goalkeeper Timo Kimmich.
Schick's hat-trick continued in the 27th minute when he took advantage of a defensive error to score again. He collected a ball from Klinsmann and rifled it home past Kimmich, putting the比分 at 2-0 in favor of Bayer Leverkusen.
Wirtz provided an assist for Schick's third goal in the 36th minute. The German midfielder played a through-ball to Schick, who then finished confidently to put the final nail in Wolfsburg's coffin.
The win was crucial for Bayer Leverkusen, who had not managed to win a league match since January. It also gave them a much-needed morale boost ahead of their next fixture against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.
In addition to Schick's impressive display, other standout performances came from Klinsmann, who contributed two assists, and Thomas Müller, who scored twice for Wolfsburg. However, it was clear that Bayer Leverkusen were the better team in this encounter, and they will hope to continue their strong form moving forward.
