Leverkusen scored in the injury time of the match, they were lucky to win the match because I was expecting a draw since Augsburg were able to maintain and hold the game to the 90 minutes without coma goals, but the pressure from Leverkusen helped them to win the match because they dominated the match. Anyways congratulations to Leverkusen for maintaining their unbeaten run and their top position in the Bundesliga table, they keep given Bayern Munich the a tough competition which I believe they will maintain because they play like champions.
As I expected, Victor Boniface's absence would have quite an impact on Leverkusen's attack line at the start of the match after the break. it was proven that this match was quite tough. even though Leverkusen owned the game with 76% ball possession, 24 total shots, 6 on target, seven shots blocked and 4 big chances, 1 shot hit the post, Xabi Alonso's team found it very difficult to convert every opportunity into a goal. and fortunately for Leverkusen, in the crucial minutes of 90+4, Exequiel Palacios was able to break into Augsburg's goal. so, for now Leverkusen is still safe in terms of maintaining a point distance from teams below its ranking, especially Bayern Munich.
overall, based on statistics, almost every Leverkusen player played impressively. however, Patrik Schick and Adam Hlozek did not play as they should. however, it is very natural, after all, these two players rarely play as main starters, especially Patrik Schick, who does not have enough opportunities to play. for the other players, they played with maximum performance, especially Exequiel Palacios who saved his team from getting full points in this match.
Well, the next match will be a challenge for Leverkusen. to keep their distance from Bayern Munich, Leverkusen must beat Leipzig again. but it won't be easy at all, although in the first meeting Leverkusen was able to beat RB Leipzig. with the absence of Victor Boniface, at least it has had quite an impact on the sharpness of Xabi Alonson's squad. apart from that, Leipzig will maximize the match at home, especially after losing to Frankfurt in the previous match. in the next match, both teams will fight to the max. Both Leverkusen and RB Leipzig both need a win. this meeting should be an exciting match next week. Anyway, Alonso is a little calm considering that his team is still consistent in winning.
