Bayer Leverkusen secured their place in the Bundesliga play-off round with a resounding victory over VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday evening. The match was played at the BayArena and saw the hosts dominate possession for much of the game.
The first goal of the match came just five minutes into the game when Schick scored a header from close range. The Czech striker then added to his tally six minutes later with another header after good work from Wirtz. The second half saw Bayer Leverkusen continue to pressurize Wolfsburg's defence and they were rewarded with another two goals in quick succession.
Firstly, Schick scored his third goal of the game with a powerful strike from outside the box. Then, Wirtz provided an assist for the final goal of the match as he crossed the ball to Schick who finished off the move with a simple finish.
The win sees Bayer Leverkusen secure their spot in the play-offs for the first time since 2016. It also means that they will face either Hamburg or Mainz in the semi-finals, with the winner progressing to the final and a chance to lift the Bundesliga title.
Overall, it was a fantastic performance from Bayer Leverkusen who showed why they are considered one of the best teams in Germany. They have now established themselves as serious contenders for the top spot in the league and will be looking to continue their impressive form in the coming weeks.
