Invincible Bayer Leverkusen sets a German football record

The 23rd round of the German Bundesliga opened with a match involving the current league leader, Bayer Leverkusen, hosting Mainz on their home turf. The match proved to be quite intense, yet the "pharmacists" emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline.

Granit Xhaka opened the scoring for Bayer Leverkusen just three minutes into the game, but four minutes later, the opponents equalized through Dominik Kohr's efforts. The decisive goal in the match was scored by Robert Andrich in the 68th minute.

Thanks to this victory, Bayer Leverkusen extended their unbeaten streak to 33 matches, setting a new record in the history of German football. Previously, the longest unbeaten streak was held by Bayern Munich, who, under the guidance of Hans-Dieter Flick, went undefeated in 32 consecutive matches from 2019 to 2020.

Bayer Leverkusen's next match will be against Cologne away on March 3rd. It is also worth noting that yesterday saw the draw for the Round of 16 of the Europa League, with the Azerbaijani side Qarabag drawn as Bayer Leverkusen's opponent.
