Despite Dortmund's defeating Leverkusen by 2-0 away I believe Leverkusen still seemed strong. Because Leverkusen have been on the rise thanks to Xabi Alonso. They had a great win streak and this affected their performance positively against Dortmund as well. Leverkusen also could have scored multiple goals here. Diaby was the closest player to score a couple of times but Kobel was really impressive with his saves. Kobel's contribution in this win also can't be underestimated.
I still expect Leverkusen to go on their way determinedly. Only one loss shouldn't upset them too much.
In general, Leverkusen actually played well in this match, it's just that they couldn't score a goal. On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund, who had few chances, were able to take the chances they got into a goal, even though one of them was recorded as an own goal. Leverkusen managed to release 21 attempts but only a few that led to the goal, and it's true that Kobel played well in this match.I still expect Leverkusen to go on their way determinedly. Only one loss shouldn't upset them too much.
It's a shame that the winning streak that Leverkusen created had to end in this match. they have bounced back from their slump at the start of the season, and they are so much more now, that is an achievement for them.
but I don't mind if they lose some more points in the process to make the Bundesliga more interesting.
