It was a very tense victory for Leverkusen to achieve, yes they had to wait until the 90+ minute to score a goal and ensure they could win this match.
I think this is just a matter of luck, because Augsburg also didn't play that well to be able to withstand every attack from Leverkusen, but it was very difficult for Leverkusen to score at least 1 goal to make them play more comfortably.
They could breathe a sigh of relief after they were able to score that goal, because if they failed to win, then Bayern Munich would be able to take advantage of the moment of unsatisfactory results achieved by Leverkusen.
Nothing has changed in the standings and also the distance between these two clubs, everything is the same as before with a difference of 4 points but Bayern Munich is 1 match ahead of Leverkusen.
They had many injuries right now aside from Victor Boniface being their main goal striker, they don't have much but the strategy of Xavi Alonso so for sure that is how Alonso was giving them a brief strategy on what to do in circumstances like that, I really think what they need is a Xavi Alonso that will be technical on his strategy for sure and Alonso is great in improvising.
Leverkusen's triumph excites me! Augsburg is tough at home, so this is a big win. I think Leverkusen was lucky, but thats football! They're four points ahead, but Bayern Munich, with a game in hand, is closing in. This is Xabi Alonso's coaching peak. He's kept the team constant, so they have a chance to win the Bundesliga. It wont be easy, especially given Munich's recent title success.
Leverkusen must stay on track in the next matches. Munich will play Werder, which shouldnt be a problem for them, and may cut the deficit. Leverkusen's triumph, notably Palacios' last-minute goal, must have boosted morale. In a tight title race, stunning victories can help a team. Still, pressure is high, and the road is long. Lets see if Alonso's team can stay calm and possibly change Bundesliga history.
Another thing why this was a big win for Leverkusen according to some was it is because of the injuries of the Players for their main Striker that is Victor Binaface, that is why Leverkusen Struggle in this game but because of the strategy of Xavi Alonso they still manage to get this game into a win by getting 1 goal Leverkusen is still number 1,
Right now 4 points are what Bayern Munich needs to make it happen and get back the position Leverkusen has got them, Leverkusen has proven that they are a more experienced team because of Xavi Alonso, what make Leverkusen Special as the way they have prepared for this game.
