Gutierrez guides Leverkusen past Leipzig in Bundesliga
Defender Miguel Gutierrez scored and set up another in Bayer Leverkusen's 2-0 win, their second victory of the season, lifting them to fifth in the table.
Bayer Leverkusen secured a 2-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the German Bundesliga on Sunday, thanks to goals from defender Miguel Gutierrez and midfielder Patrik Schick. Gutierrez not only scored but also set up Schick's goal just before halftime. The 25-year-old Spaniard's efforts propelled Leverkusen to fifth position in the table, while Schick's individual performance brought his season tally to four goals.
Schick, who was speaking to DAZN, admitted he could have scored more but lamented the upcoming international break. Leverkusen will next face Mainz on October 10 without any other matches. Leipzig suffered their second defeat of the season, dropping them to ninth place as they prepare for a three-week international window. Elversberg drew 0-0 with Schalke, while Paderborn claimed their first win of the season, defeating Hoffenheim 3-1.
On Saturday, Borussia Dortmund defeated Stuttgart 1-0 at home, with Maximilian Beier scoring the winning goal in the 70th minute. Dortmund's victory moved them to the top of the table, with them currently two points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich, in their match against Union Berlin, dominated with a 7-0 win, marking England captain Harry Kane's achievement of becoming the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the Bundesliga.
