Bayer Leverkusen secured their first victory of the season against VfL Wolfsburg with two hat-tricks from Schick and one assist from Wirtz. The match started off well for the visitors, as they took the lead through Schick's header after only five minutes. However, Wolfsburg fought back bravely and equalized before half-time through their own forward, who scored his second goal in as many games. Despite this, Leverkusen remained resilient and continued to create chances throughout the game. The hosts were awarded a penalty in the 75th minute when Wolfsburg defender, who had been booked earlier in the game, was adjudged to have handled the ball. However, the spot-kick proved no threat as Schick converted the penalty with ease. Leverkusen then went on to score again through Schick's second goal, as he slotted home from close range. The final whistle was blown moments later, leaving the visitors celebrating a hard-fought victory. Wirtz provided the assist for Schick's second goal, scoring a stunning long-range shot that found its way into the net. This was the first time the German midfielder has assisted a goal since joining the club in January, and it showed how much he has improved under head coach Julian Nagelsmann. Overall, this was a solid performance by Leverkusen, who looked dangerous throughout the game. They will be hoping to continue their good form in their next fixture, which is away at RB Leipzig. |
