Bayern Munich edges past battling Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena
Bayern Munich secured a narrow 2-1 victory against Bayer Leverkusen in a hard-fought Bundesliga match at the BayArena, played on February 15th, 2025. The game, part of the league’s 22nd round, was characterized by intensity and a determined performance from Leverkusen. Despite possessing a lower share of possession (44%), Bayern Munich managed to secure the win through greater efficiency. Leverkusen, with 56% possession, had 12 attempts on goal, but only two were on target. Bayern Munich managed only 2 shots, none on target. The yellow card shown to Hincapié in the 11th minute set the tone for a fiercely contested match, with referee Daniel Siebert issuing three further cautions to Bayern players (Ito, Pavlovic, and Upamecano) and one to Leverkusen (Tapsoba).
