A Bundesliga match concluded with Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s 4-3 win over VfB Stuttgart, marking the end of the 26th round of the German football league.
Patrik Schick scored the decisive goal in stoppage time, heading the ball in after a cross from Jeremie Frimpong, who had created the opportunity by beating his opponent on the right flank. Prior to that, Leverkusen had equalized through an own goal by Angelo Stiller.
The match began with Stuttgart taking the lead through a shot by Ermedin Demirovic, who converted a rebound. Nick Woltemade then extended the lead for the home team just after halftime, making it 2-0 in their favor. However, Leverkusen managed to get back into the game, as Jeremie Frimpong scored a goal to reduce the deficit. Piero Hincapie further narrowed the gap and Stiller’s own goal later on brought the teams level.
In the final stages, the atmosphere became intense, with Bayer’s coach Xabi Alonso receiving a yellow card for protesting. Ultimately, Schick’s late goal secured the win for Leverkusen, which has now reduced the gap with the leaders, Bayern, to six points.
