Bayer Leverkusen mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat VfB Stuttgart 4-3 at the MHPArena in the Bundesliga today.
The match began unfavorably for the reigning champions, as Stuttgart surged to a 3-1 lead, capitalizing on defensive lapses and a deflection off Leverkusen’s goalkeeper, Lukas Hradecky.
However, Leverkusen showcased resilience, with Jeremie Frimpong igniting the comeback by narrowing the deficit.
The turning point came in the final minutes when Patrik Schick headed home the decisive goal in the 90th minute, sealing the victory for Leverkusen.
This win snapped Leverkusen’s three-game losing streak across all competitions and reduced Bayern Munich’s lead at the top of the Bundesliga to six points.
In other Bundesliga action, Eintracht Frankfurt secured a 3-1 victory over VfL Bochum.

Michy Batshuayi added a third in stoppage time, while Gerrit Holtmann scored Bochum’s lone goal.
Goalkeeper Kaua Santos delivered a standout performance, ensuring Frankfurt’s return to winning ways after three consecutive league defeats.
Additionally, Bayern Munich was held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin. Despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances, Bayern struggled to convert.
Leroy Sané broke the deadlock in the 75th minute, but a late error by goalkeeper Jonas Urbig allowed Benedict Hollerbach to equalize for Union Berlin.
This result extended Bayern’s winless run to two league matches, following their previous loss to VfL Bochum, and narrowed their lead in the title race.
