Leverkusen celebrates chic spectacle: 5: 1 against Freiburg!

In a gripping Bundesliga game, Bayer 04 Leverkusen dismantled SC Freiburg 5-1 last Saturday. Even a shot penalty could not brake the Leverkuseners, who are already celebrating their eighth competitive victory in a row. The 21-year-old Florian Wirtz was the decisive star of the evening, which was involved in almost every important scene. While Patrick Schick shone with four goals, Wirtz prepared his seventh goal of the season and delivered three other templates. Leverkusen thus stays in the narrow race with Bayern Munich and occupies second place in the Bundesliga, only four points behind the league leader, as from .

Leverkusen from the beginning, despite an early shot from Freiburg Philipp Lienhart, who only hit the crossbar. Florian Wirtz can be proven when he put on the first goal of Schick before scored 2-0 himself. A mistake by Freiburg's goalkeeper Noah Atubolu enabled Schick a perfect template for his impressive hat trick, which ended with a header to 5: 1. The SC Freiburg was only able to shorten to 1: 2 by Vincenzo Grifo, but the gap had quickly grown to four goals. Freiburg coach Julian Schuster was frustrated about the ice-cold punishment of his team: "The result does not reflect our performance," as from AP news reported .

For Leverkusen, this was an important sign at the end of the year. The club not only has the championship in view, but is also in the Champions League and in the DFB Cup. On January 10, 2025, Bayer 04 will meet Borussia Dortmund in the next Bundesliga game, while Freiburg will compete against Holstein Kiel the next day. The signs are at full throttle for both teams while the league goes into the winter break.
