Bayer Leverkusen secured their third consecutive victory in the Bundesliga on Sunday evening as they defeated 1. FC Köln 2-0 at home. The match was marked by a dominant performance from the visitors, who dominated possession throughout the game.
The first half saw Leverkusen take control of the game, creating numerous chances for themselves but failing to convert them into goals. However, it was the second half that proved to be crucial for the hosts, with Wirtz and Diaby scoring in quick succession to secure the three points.
Wirtz's goal came after just six minutes of added time, as he capitalized on a defensive mistake by Köln to slot home from close range. The goal was a testament to his clinical finishing skills and his ability to find the back of the net at key moments.
Diaby's goal followed shortly afterwards, as he received a pass from Benjamin Pavard and finished off a well-worked move to give Leverkusen the lead. The midfielder's goal was a reflection of his consistent performances this season, as he continues to provide a steady presence in midfield for the team.
Despite conceding two goals, Köln were able to compete with the league leaders for much of the match. They created several opportunities for themselves, including a shot from outside the box which hit the post.
Overall, it was another strong display from Bayer Leverkusen, who remain undefeated in their last four matches. With the likes of Wirtz and Diaby continuing to impress, there is no doubt that the team will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the Bundesliga this season.
