Bayer Leverkusen secured their second straight win in the Bundesliga with a convincing 2-0 victory over Mainz on Saturday afternoon. The victory was all the more impressive given that it came after a disappointing start to the season for the team.
The match saw Schick and Diaby shine as they led Leverkusen to victory. The German international striker netted his fourth goal of the season, while the French midfielder provided the assist for the opener. Both players were instrumental in Leverkusen's attack, combining well to create chances for their teammates.
Despite Leverkusen's dominance, Mainz put up a good fight. They created several opportunities, but could not find the back of the net. However, their efforts were ultimately in vain as they fell behind early on.
Leverkusen took control of the game from there and did not let Mainz back into the contest. Their defensive solidity was also on display, preventing any further scoring opportunities for the visitors.
With this win, Leverkusen has now remained undefeated in the Bundesliga this campaign. The team is currently sitting at the top of the table, just two points ahead of their nearest rivals. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the squad, who have been performing consistently throughout the season.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Leverkusen, who showed their attacking prowess and defensive strength against Mainz. With such performances, the team looks set to continue its strong form in the coming matches.
