Leverkusen conquers Inter at the last minute and dreams of the Champions League!

In a gripping Champions League duel, Bayer Leverkusen defeated Inter Milan 1-0 on Tuesday evening and thus took a crucial step towards round of 16. The Leverkusen players played bravely from the start and pushed for the lead goal. Already in the third minute Tella had the first option, but his shot only crashed into the crossbar, such as flz.de reported.

Yann Sommer, who is in the goal of the Italians, was strongly challenged over long distances of the game, but remained without conceding until shortly before the end. The team led by coach Simone Inzaghi, which did not collect a single goal in the previous five Champions League encounters and celebrated four victories, could hardly prevail offensive. Leverkusen always tried to put pressure on spacers, including Granit Xhaka. Inter's defensive strategy was good, but the Leverkuseners could not be discouraged. In the last few minutes the sheet finally turned: Mukiele scored the decisive goal in the 90th minute and secured victory, while summer and the inter-defense had to be made after a strong match, as well as nau.ch hold.

Leverkusen can now collect the necessary points in the upcoming games against Atlético Madrid and Sparta Prague in order to realize the direct entry into the round of 16 of the Champions League. With a total of 13 points from six games, they stand strongly and show that they are on the best way to challenge the European soccer elite.
