Mid-term conclusion:
Break on the Rhine, Bayer Leverkusen leads 2-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach. The foals started promising, but then increasingly found themselves in their own half. The hosts took advantage of that: Adli and Demirbay converted the first two opportunities to score twice. Since then, the encounter has been rippling along a bit. Both teams rarely get good chances. More must come from Borussia in the second round in order not to suffer their second defeat in a row. See you soon!

There are only a few moments left before the break. It seems as if this 2-0 is going into the cabins.

20:12
Double chance Bayer! First, Olschowsky parried against Adli from a similar position as in the 0:1. Diaby throws the rebound from eight meters into the clouds.
39
20:10
Then Hrádecký has to go there: Thuram puts the ball in the box on the left for Hofmann. The German national player takes a flat shot from 13 meters to the left. Hrádecký grabs after a small slapstick insert on the fourth attempt.

20:09
Not much is happening on either side at the moment. In particular, the Farke squad can’t find any means of getting into the last third.

Yellow card for Manu Koné (Bor. Mönchengladbach)
Koné is late in midfield. He sees his twelfth warning in the current season.

More than half an hour has passed. The lead is well deserved, the Rhinelanders make the impression that they are more active and willing to play. In addition, they are extremely effective in the end.

A corner from the left lets Palacios bounce off the hoe at the first post in the direction of the short corner. Ultimately, the ball lands on the side netting.

19:57
By the way, Olschowsky didn’t look good when he conceded. The keeper dived past Frimpong’s cross. Otherwise he might have intervened.

19:54
After a courageous start, VfL once again found themselves falling behind. He has to be careful not to go under like a week ago at Borussia Dortmund – here they lost 2:5.

Tooor for Bayer Leverkusen, 2-0 through Kerem Demirbay
Leverkusen increased! Frimpong has a little too much space on the right wing. Demirbay shifts the fastest, is on the ball in front of Olschowsky, who rushes out, and nods him from a few meters into the short corner.

19:48
B04 is mercilessly efficient here. Adli uses the first real chance of the encounter. The hosts would have needed more of this callousness on Thursday.

19:44
Tooor for Bayer Leverkusen, 1-0 through Amine Adli
And then Adli suddenly puts his colors in the lead! The 23-year-old is the addressee of a fine through ball from Hincapié through the half-left lane of attack. He crowned his run with a flat left-footed shot from eight meters and an acute angle, which slipped under Olschowsky and into the net.

19:43
Little speed at the moment. Above all, the fast hosts in the person of Adli and Diaby have not yet found their way directly to the front.

19:39
More and more calm comes into play here. Although the Gladbachers were not overwhelmingly superior. But now they are challenged a lot on the defensive.
6.
19:36
Wirtz kicks a free kick into the penalty area from the right half of the field. But Olschowsky has the thing for sure.

Good start from the guests. They go into this game with a lot of dynamism and speed, especially in midfield.

On the other hand, she has run season for the foals. They can no longer do anything in the direction of relegation battles or in the fight for European places. After a disappointing season, currently only rewarded with position eleven, it is only a matter of bringing it to a halfway forgiving end. Incidentally, they could still be a stumbling block for Leverkusen with a win – after all, it’s still about the international rankings for them. After three bankruptcies from the last four games, that might also be a good signal to your own supporters.

The Werkself had to swallow a bitter pill during the week. In the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals, she was held to a goalless draw at home by AS Roma. Due to the narrow defeat in the first leg (0-1) in Rome, she was eliminated from international competition. It is now all the more important to quickly put the focus back on the Bundesliga. The Farbenstadt-based team is currently in sixth place and would at least have qualified for the Europa Conference League. With a three, they could distance Wolfsburg, who are currently tied, by three points.

Hello and welcome to the final match of Day 33! Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach end the Bundesliga weekend with their duel on Sunday.
