Bayer Leverkusen is one step closer to the Bundesliga title after a 2-1 win against Mainz. The leader has now been unbeaten for 33 games in a row, a record in the German league.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen has not lost a match in all competitions this season. With a win against Mainz, they now have the Bundesliga record of 33 games in a row unbeaten.

Leverkusen quickly took the lead against Mainz after a solid shot from Xhaka. The midfielder felt his hamstrings after the opening goal, but it turned out to be a fun way to celebrate the 1-0. Even coach Xabi Alonso had fallen in.
