The result was a significant boost for Leverkusen's chances of securing a top-four finish, as they now have three points from their opening two matches.
The match began with a frantic start, but it wasn't until the 24th minute that Leverkusen broke the deadlock. Forward Julian Wirtz scored his second goal of the game to give Leverkusen an early lead. His effort was a precise shot from distance, which deflected off the post before finding its way into the net.
RB Leipzig responded immediately, and in the 28th minute, goalkeeper Timo Werner made a crucial save to prevent the deficit from widening.

Despite RB Leipzig's efforts, Leverkusen maintained their advantage, and in the 90th minute, defender Thomas Müller completed the scoring with a header from close range. The final score was 3-1, leaving Leverkusen with a comfortable win and a renewed sense of confidence.
Wirtz's performance was particularly noteworthy, as he scored twice and provided assists for both goals. His contributions were instrumental in Leverkusen's victory, and he is likely to be a key player for the rest of the season. Additionally, the team's defense also played a vital role in holding RB Leipzig at bay, especially during the closing stages of the match.
This victory comes at a crucial time for Leverkusen, who has been struggling to find their rhythm in the Bundesliga this season. Their success against RB Leipzig could be seen as a positive sign of things to come, and they will hope to build on this momentum going forward.
With the win, Leverkusen move up to seventh place in the table, just one point behind fifth-placed Bayern Munich. The club will look to continue their strong form and secure their position in the top four for the remainder of the season.
