Bayern Munich Vs Bayer Leverkusen

Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen shared the spoils in a thrilling 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena on September 28, 2024. The match, a key fixture on the Bundesliga calendar, saw Bayern’s perfect start to the season halted by the defending champions from Leverkusen.

Leverkusen took a surprise lead in the first half, courtesy of Robert Andrich. The midfielder’s strike silenced the home crowd, leaving the 75,000-strong audience stunned. However, Bayern quickly retaliated, with Aleksander Pavlovic leveling the score with a powerful volley that left Leverkusen’s goalkeeper, Lukas Hradecky, helpless.

Despite Bayern’s dominance in possession and numerous attempts on goal, they were unable to secure a winner. Forward Serge Gnabry came agonizingly close with a double effort that saw the ball strike both the post and the crossbar. In the final moments of the match, Bayern pushed for a decisive goal, but Leverkusen’s defense held firm, ensuring a draw.

Vincent Kompany‘s side remains atop the Bundesliga standings, while Xabi Alonso‘s Leverkusen sits in third place. The result maintains Alonso’s unbeaten record against Bayern Munich in his managerial career.

Both teams will look to bounce back in their upcoming UEFA Champions League fixtures. Leverkusen is set to host AC Milan, while Bayern Munich will travel to England to take on Aston Villa.

This high-stakes encounter was part of a lineup of over 500 football matches to be broadcast on TNT Sports throughout the 2024-25 season, covering events such as the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. In the UK, TNT Sports can be streamed via discovery+, though it is subject to broadcasting restrictions during certain times on Saturdays.
