Bayer Leverkusen prevented Borussia Dortmund from ending their impressive winning streak with a stoppage-time goal as the two teams drew 1-1 in a match from round 30 of the Bundesliga.
The new German champions have already broken Juventus’ record for the longest unbeaten run in Europe’s top 5 leagues by recording 44 consecutive matches without defeat, and today extended that to 45.
In the 30th minute, Jeremy Frimpong went down in the penalty area and had a claim, and the referee signaled for play to continue. Seconds later, play was stopped for the VAR referees to review the situation and the referee’s decision was upheld.
Six minutes later, Alejandro Grimaldo fired a powerful shot from distance, but the ball went just over the crossbar.
In the 39th minute, Grimaldo again had a chance to score, but from a free kick he sent the ball over the goal.
Lukasz Hradecki made a good save in the 42nd minute when he deflected Marcel Zabitzer’s shot.
In the 68th minute, Nathan Tella took the ball very well in the penalty area and sent a shot, but Gregor Kobel dealt with the danger.
Borussia Dortmund took the lead in the 81st minute when Niklas Fühlkrug shot from the move and slotted the ball into Hradecki’s left corner to make it 1-0.
In the 89th minute, Leverkusen were down a man after Victor Boniface received a straight red card.
In the eighth minute of added time, despite already having 10 men on the field, Bayer managed to score an equalizing goal. Florian Wirtz crossed from a corner and Josip Stanisic outran the Westphalian defense and headed in to make it 1:1.
