Bayer Leverkusen secured their first Bundesliga victory of the season with a hard-fought win over Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening.

The match saw both teams put in a strong performance, but it was Leverkusen who emerged victorious thanks to a stunning goal from Wirtz.

With just minutes remaining in the game, Leverkusen forward Wirtz found himself one-on-one with Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Bürki, and he did not miss.

With his shot from the edge of the box finding the top corner, Leverkusen secured all three points in a thrilling encounter that saw both teams create numerous chances throughout the match.

Dortmund, who were without their injured star striker Erling Haaland, struggled to find their rhythm in the opening half-hour, but they eventually got back into the game through a goal from their substitute forward Jadon Sancho.

However, Leverkusen's defense held firm, and they managed to keep Dortmund at bay until the final whistle.

The win is a significant boost for Leverkusen, who had struggled in recent weeks. The victory also marks the first time since February 2019 that Leverkusen have won a league match away from home.

Despite the win, both teams will be disappointed with the result as they failed to secure maximum points. However, the win is a good sign for Leverkusen, who now look set to challenge for a top-four finish this season.

Overall, it was a thrilling match between two evenly-matched sides, and Leverkusen's victory is a testament to their determination and skill on the pitch.
