Bayer Leverkusen’s Unbeaten Run Extends to 47 Matches

Bayer Leverkusen continued their impressive unbeaten run as they secured a 2-0 victory over Roma in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final clash. Goals from Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich sealed the win for the Bundesliga champions, marking only their second victory in Italy.

The match started off slowly, but Leverkusen eventually broke the deadlock when Alex Grimaldo capitalized on a misplaced backpass to set up Wirtz for the opening goal. Roma tried to respond with a flurry of chances, but Leverkusen’s defense held firm.

Andrich then doubled Leverkusen’s lead in the second half with a stunning long-range strike into the top-left corner. Despite Roma’s efforts to find a leveller, they were unable to break through the Leverkusen defense.

The victory not only put Leverkusen in a commanding position in the tie but also extended their unbeaten run to an impressive 47 matches in all competitions. Xabi Alonso’s side has been in scintillating form and will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak as they aim to secure a spot in the Europa League final.

In the other semi-final first leg, Marseille and Atalanta played out a 1-1 draw, leaving the tie finely poised for the second leg. With Leverkusen’s dominant display and unbeaten run, they will be the team to watch as they continue their pursuit of European glory.
