Bayer Leverkusen missed a golden opportunity to close the gap on Bayern Munich in the title race after being defeated 2-0 by Werder Bremen at the BayArena.
This was the second consecutive defeat for Xabi Alonso's team, something that had not happened since May 2023.
Leverkusen, who won this match 5-0 to secure the title last season, started the match badly, conceding a goal in the seventh minute. Romano Schmid scored after a beautiful move by Bremen, while the home team did not have a single shot on target in the first 20 minutes.
Despite substitutions in the second half, Leverkusen failed to respond. Florian Wirtz came on as a substitute but was forced off injured. In the end, Justin Njinmah sealed the defeat with an extra-time goal, leaving Leverkusen eight points behind Bayern, who they will face in the second leg of their Champions League tie in midweek.
