Oddly enough, even though Bayern Munich dominated the match by 70%, they still couldn't penetrate Leverkusen's defense and they were only able to reply with 1 goal when Leverkusen scored first against them. Bayern Munich made many attacks but Leverkusen's defense was really strong and they were only able to create chances each in the first half and in the second half it wasn't that interesting because both teams couldn't score additional goals. At least this was the result that I actually expected because both clubs looked equal. Xabi Alonso really trained Leverkusen like a club that had dominated the league for years. Even Bayern Munich, which had dominated for years, was defeated by Leverkusen.
Leverkusen had anticipated this, when they come as a away team then they will implement a defensive strategy because they know Bayern Munich is very aggressive when playing at home well Leverkusen succeeded with this strategy and got one point. This draw will open up opportunities for Leverkusen to continue to catch up 3 points behind is not impossible, right? It will be very interesting to see how these two teams fare at the end of the season and I can't predict who will win the title this season.

Maximum of the shoot that they have taken were not on target. And honestly, if some of them were actually on target, there was no way Die Werkself was going to have one point from this match.
But it takes nothing away from Alonso's side as well. They have definitely played well and the goal that they have scored was also pretty incredible.
Among the other teams Hoffenheim is the one that caught my attention, last season they finished in 7th place and got a ticket to the Europa League but for this season Hoffenheim is in 16th position or in the relegation zone, Hoffenheim suffers 4 consecutive defeats and only win once. we don't understand what's happening, but it's definitely strange.
Hoffenheim has only been able to win one match so far in this season and that is not good enough for a team that has finished several in the last season.
I do not want to make any quick assumptions because this is still early stages and I think we should still wait for a little and the performance improves from Matarazzo.
If Matarazzo's men still cannot win one more match till the 10th match is played, it will be of serious concern for them.
