Overview
- Leverkusen beat RB Leipzig 2-0 at the BayArena on Sunday, Sept 20, with Patrik Schick opening the scoring from a Miguel Gutierrez cross.
- Schick has now scored in each of Leverkusen's first four Bundesliga matchdays, a feat not achieved at the club since 2009-10.
- Gutierrez completed a goal-and-assist performance by scoring from outside the box in the second half to make the win safe.
- Leipzig had a Christopher Nkunku goal disallowed for offside and have now suffered four successive Bundesliga away defeats, leaving them down the table.
- The league pauses for an estimated three-week international break that players say could disrupt Leverkusen's form and give rivals time to regroup tactically.
