A very competitive match was played between Leverkusen and Leipzig and the winner was the home team.The home team, who scored in the last minutes of the first half, managed to win the match 2-0 with a penalty goal towards the end of the match. Although Leipzig was the away team who played more ball in the match and got into goal position, it was a pity for them that they could not find a goal.Leipzig, who took 26 shots during the match, could not score a goal, which we can say as an indication that they are doing something wrong somewhere.Leverkusen increased its points to 47 with this win.Leipzig lost the 4th place and dropped to 5th place.
In all fairness, you already pointed it out that the result doesn't really represent what happened during the game. Yes efficiency should always be an important factor and if one team manages to score better than another, the win is deserved, but still looking it realistically, these three points could have also ended up with Leipzig. They also had 69% ball possession, which is really high for an away game.
Now part of the story also is that Leverkusen barely got lucky this season. Especially early on they were really unlucky at times and that's why I think it might be a bit of a general fairness now that they took home these three points.
Next week Leverkusen has another big test to pass against Union Berlin. If they still want to preserve their little chance for the Champions League, I think they have to win it all.
