Leipzig trapped, Leverkusen jet and Dortmund on display in the Bundesliga

Leverkusen saved by Patrik Schick against Heidenheim (5-2)

Established at the forefront of Leverkusen's attack in the absence of Victor Boniface, injured in a thigh, Patrik Schick did more than seize his chance: he almost single-handedly allowed his team to reverse a very bad situation. against Heidenheim (5-2) on Saturday. The reigning German champions, struggling in recent weeks (only one victory in the last six Bundesliga matches before this weekend), were in fact trailing 0-2 after 20 minutes, following major defensive errors: after a loss of the ball by Piero Hincapié on a touch that seemed innocuous (9th, 0-1), and a guilty wait-and-see attitude by Granit Xhaka and Jonathan Tah, erased with astonishing ease by Mathias Honsak, who concluded with an unstoppable left-footed cross shot (21st, 0-2).
