I think Alonso tactics is really working for him, he has kept Bayer Leverkusen in a consistent form after been crown the Bundesliga champions last season Alonso is also working very hard to see if he can retain back the Bundesliga tittle again.
The game between Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen is really an entertaining one we saw how Dortmund was doing the playing in the concluded first half while Bayer Leverkusen is making good use of their chances to score as they had just 5 goals attempt and made good chances of it by scoring 3 goals from 5 goals attempt I believe they will still maintain this lead till end of the game, 2 goals from Schick as Bayer Leverkusen is leading Dortmund 3-1 as the first half result.
Alonso knows how to embarrass the hosts, something that was previously thought to make Borussia Dornund stronger when playing as hosts, but instead conceded in the early minutes of the match. Leverkusen's wild pressure made the Dornund defenders make mistakes, which allowed the ball to be released, and Lverkusen responded well. Nathan managed to score from outside the penalty box, and it happened less than a minute into the match.
Conceding in the early minutes of the match put Dortmund in a more pressured position, especially because they were playing as hosts, and Leverkusen were able to take advantage of the momentum to increase their lead. Leverkusen appeared full of confidence, but unfortunately, Leverkusen's defenders were unable to cut off the pass properly, and the ball fell to a Dornund player, and Jamie was able to convert it into a goal. However, it seemed that Dromudn could not do more in the first half which made them concede again and make the score difference back to a goal.
The tension of this match was very high, even the referee had to issue 2 yellow cards after the long whistle signaling the end of the first half.
