Leverkusen’s Unbeaten Streak Continues With Last-gasp Equalizer Against Stuttgart
Bayer Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten streak was kept alive by a last-gasp equalizer from Robert Andrich at the BayArena, securing a dramatic 2-2 draw against Stuttgart. Despite already being crowned champions, Leverkusen’s pursuit of an invincible season added extra intensity to the match, making it a spectacle for fans.
The game started with Die Werkself showing their attacking strength, with Jeremie Frimpong’s pace causing trouble for the Stuttgart defense. However, missed opportunities early on setting the tone for a closely contested match. Stuttgart on the other hand, gradually found their rhythm and nearly took the lead through Serhou Guirassy’s header that narrowly missed the target.
As the first half progressed, both teams had their chances, with Lukas Hradecky and Alexander Nübel making crucial saves to keep the score level. The second half began explosively, with Stuttgart breaking the deadlock through Chris Führich’s stunning volley, Deniz Undav pounced to make it 2-0 to the visitors with his 18th Bundesliga strike of the campaign putting Leverkusen in a rare two-goal deficit.
Facing the prospect of their first league defeat, Leverkusen responded swiftly, with Amine Adli reducing the deficit just minutes later. Despite Nübel’s heroics in goal-denying further goals, Leverkusen’s determination to preserve their unbeaten record was evident as they pushed forward relentlessly.
The tension reached its peak when a potential equalizer from Odilon Kossounou was disallowed for offside, but Leverkusen’s never-say-die attitude shone through in the dying moments. Florian Wirtz’s free-kick led to a scramble in the box, and Robert Andrich capitalized on the chaos to score a dramatic 97th-minute equalizer, salvaging a point and extending Leverkusen’s unbeaten run.
