WIRTZ ALL ALONE!

This is special from Wirtz as he is on the end of Schick's backheel pass and dribbles past Samassekou before he chips the ball over the goalkeeper from close range. His second Bundesliga goal!

DIABY HAS A GO!

The Frenchman has the home side's first effort of the half cutting side from the left onto his right but Baumann beats that one away.
52'

CHANCES GALORE!

Somehow Hoffenheim aren't level. Grillitsch's shot is tipped wide by Hradecky but Hoffenheim keep the chance alive. Samassekou shoots from range and Baumgartner is on the end of it in front of goal but diverts the ball past the post.
50'

WHAT A GOAL FROM BAUMGARTNER!

The Austrian matches Bailey's earlier effort with a stunner of his own. He breaks out of midfield and curls the ball over Hradecky from all of 25 yards. His second of the season and most certainly his best!

SOMEHOW NOT A GOAL AGAIN!

A free-kick swings into the Leverkusen box and is allowed to bounce in front of Hradecky before reaching Posch at the back post, but he can't angle his header on target. A comical moment there.

A BAILEY BRACE!

It's two for Bailey and Leverkusen and a nightmare for Hoffenheim. After scoring his toughest earlier, this is his easiest. Kramaric plays a backpass destined for Baumann and Bailey reads it, skipping in and past Baumann before slotting the ball home with his right.

HRADECKY DENIES!

A training ground move from a corner opens up the play as Grillitsch plays Rudy into the box. Hradecky parries the first ball before the second shot is saved again and finally, Bebou backheels the ball wide of goal. Chances at both ends.
22'

BAILEY CHASING BACK

Fantastic defending from Leverkusen's scorer as he races back to catch Kramaric on the counter and block his attempted pass across goal. Doing the business at both ends.
19'

QUALITY AGAIN!

Amiri is on the end of Tah's long ball forward and controls superbly before backheeling the ball into the patch of Schick. He smashes a shot at goal but it glides high over the crossbar.
19'

LEVERKUSEN COMPOSED

The home side should have been behind in the opening 15 seconds after Grillitsch's chance, but since then Peter Bosz's side have been magnificent. They have utilised the pace of Bailey and Diaby to create chances, but only taken one.

NO CHANCE FOR BAUMMAN

You just don't save shots like the one Bailey sent at goal to open the scoring here.

FANTASTIC START

Both sides playing attack-minded, free-flowing football in what has been an open game so far. Hoffenheim should have gone ahead in the opening seconds but now it's Leverkusen who are dominating.
7'

BAILEY CLOSE AGAIN!

Wirtz plays Bailey in behind and he shoots on his right. Nordtveit is across well to get a vital touch on the ball to help it go wide. This game has been wide-open so far.
4'

WHAT A GOAL FROM BAILEY!

Oh my word it's a stunner from Leon Bailey. It's a short corner and Amiri hands the ball back to the Jamaican, and he skips past a defender before curling a stupendous shot into the far top corner with Baumann only able to get his finger-tips on it. A contender for Goal of the Season there!

LEVERKUSEN ON THE HUNT

Almost a comical goal for the home side as Amiri's cross is blocked by Vogt but bounces towards his own goal as Baumann looks to clear it.
1'

WHAT A CHANCE!

It should be 1-0 inside the opening 15 seconds as Kramaric crosses from the right to match Grillitsch's run into the box. He has a free header on the edge of the six-yard box but glances the ball over the bar.

UNDERWAY!

The away side get us underway in Leverkusen for what should be a cracker!
Kick-off!

KICK-OFF COMING UP!

The ball will be rolling for the final game of the weekend in Leverkusen with Hoffenheim in town.

HOFF'S MAN IN FORM

Grillitsch scored his first Bundesliga brace on Matchday 10, ending a run of 74 league games without a goal. The Austrian has never scored more than two single-season goals, however.

ALARIO ON THE BENCH

Alario is Leverkusen's seven-goal top Bundesliga scorer in 2020/21, followed by a handful of players on two: Bailey, Julian Baumgartlinger and Schick.
