opera.com 2024/6/2

Bayer Leverkusen made history in the Bundesliga by completing an unprecedented undefeated season, capped off by a 2-1 triumph over Augsburg at the BayArena, as detailed in a report by Flashscore.

The match commenced with Bayer Leverkusen encountering a resilient defensive barrier from Augsburg, struggling initially to penetrate their opponent's backline.

However, the deadlock was broken when Augsburg goalkeeper Tomáš Koubek committed a crucial error, allowing Amine Adli to capitalize and set up Victor Boniface for an easy tap-in, granting Leverkusen an early advantage.

Leverkusen's momentum surged further as Robert Andrich displayed his skill, delicately flicking the ball into the net following Jonathan Tah's initial shot block, extending the host's lead before the half-hour mark.

In the second half, Bayer Leverkusen aimed to maintain their lead but faced a determined Augsburg side. Augsburg's persistence paid dividends when 18-year-old Mert Kömür curled in a sublime finish, securing his maiden Bundesliga goal and reducing the deficit.

This goal injected renewed intensity into the match, with Leverkusen's Patrik Schick and Andrich both posing threats to extend the lead. However, Augsburg goalkeeper Koubek made a spectacular save to deny Granit Xhaka, keeping his team within reach.

As the game progressed, Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz found himself frustrated by Koubek's heroic intervention once more, thwarting what appeared to be an inevitable goal.

Augsburg persisted in their pursuit of an equalizer, testing Leverkusen's defense, which had established itself as the Bundesliga's best throughout the season.

Despite Augsburg's efforts, Leverkusen held firm, securing the victory and completing an unprecedented unbeaten Bundesliga campaign, etching their name into the league's history books.
