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 crucial 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, with defender Miguel Gutierrez leading the way. Gutierrez not only scored but also provided an assist for Czech Republic attacker Patrik Schick just before halftime. Schick capitalized on the setup to score himself in the 57th minute. The Spaniard's two-goal display propelled Leverkusen to fifth place in the table, while Schick extended his season tally to four goals in just four matches.
However, Schick lamented, "I could have scored two or three more goals," as the international break approached. Leverkusen will next take on Mainz on October 10, while Leipzig suffered their second defeat of the campaign, dropping to ninth position ahead of a three-week international window. Earlier in the weekend, Elversberg held Schalke to a goalless draw, and Paderborn recorded their first win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim.
On Saturday, Maximilian Beier's 70th-minute goal secured Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 win over Stuttgart, positioning them at the top of the league. Dortmund now leads Bayern Munich by two points, with Bayern Munich's 7-0 triumph over Union Berlin on Friday marking their fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, England captain Harry Kane.
