Leverkusen In Crunch-Time! | 1. FC HEIDENHEIM - BAYER 04 LEVERKUSEN | Highlights | MD 28 – 2024/25

Anderwich had a single season here, 18-19, before moving on to Union Berlin, then to Leverkusen. There's Piringa being a nuisance, Piringa, on for Adrian Beck, and Beck right across the face of the goal. What a chance here for Heidenheim, 11 minutes in. Well here the league champions He's back in play, Traore quickly, Traore's cross, and now it comes for Krecic on the corner, Krecic here for Heidenheim, sent in rather flat, and they're off the bar from Gimbert, they don't come any more close than that. Aluminium once, aluminium twice, now Beck, Krecic, all dropped in here, and the lob over the bar from Piringa another chance for Heidenheim, pass is loose, given away now, the break led by Krecic for Heidenheim, ahead Piringa, here he is, Piringa's shot! A great breakaway, another chance comes and goes for FC Haag, midweek you feel, the wait's begun but Tah finds Boniface here, now Xhaka on to Adli, it's Adli, Adli's shot! And that their best chance, only chance at the game so far, Xhaka comes there for Dorsch now, and Dorsch will find Krecic again for Heidenheim, Krecic, great ball here, it's Piringa! Another chance comes the way of Heidenheim, was there one more attack before the halftime break Krecic, and now Traore, who has never scored a top division goal, and that still remains the case Gimbe, caught on by Dorsch now for Traore here for Heidenheim, Traore, Piringa's attempted backheel would have been very special, really strong from the get-go and here, hearing his flick into the arms of Hrodetsky, Artur, now Hofmann, and now Frimpong on his bike it's Frimpong for Leverkusen, Frimpong in, Hofmann! And there, Müller's first save, now about Heidenheim, the clock hits 90 minutes, their Gimbe's clearance, will be only three more to play, Xhaka, Jonas Hofmann, Hofmann's pass, Bandera! What a time to score your first goal in the Bundesliga, and Leverkusen, look at the clock, look at the team, yet again late on, they have found a way when it mattered most, Leverkusen have a habit which is gloriously hard to break, that knack of late winners, again today added time, when at second best for long spells they of course found a way to do it again
