Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen juggernaut continued on course as they defeated Union Berlin 1-0 on Saturday.
Florian Wirtz scored from the spot for the Die Schwarzroten (The Black and Reds).
Meanwhile, Thomas Tuchel’s plummeting Bayern Munich lost 3-2 to Heidenheim on Saturday, with Sporting Director Max Eberl saying the team should be ashamed of its performance:
“We should all be a bit ashamed today – and we have to make sure we represent the Bayern badge more worthy relatively quickly. This is not the Bayern Munich that I knew. I was surprised at the lack of stability that I found at Bayern. A lot needs to be changed. After the Dortmund defeat, today was a character test for us – We passed it in the first half, but failed in the second half.” (MSN)
