In one of the most thrilling matches of the season so far, Bayer Leverkusen emerged victorious over Hertha BSC with a commanding 4-0 victory. The match was filled with high drama and excitement from start to finish, as both teams put in some impressive performances.
The game began with a flurry of action as both sides looked to gain control of the match. However, it was Bayer Leverkusen who took the lead early on, with a goal scored by Timo Werner in the 11th minute. The German forward showed his clinical finishing skills to beat Hertha goalkeeper Yassine Cherki with a well-placed shot.
Hertha responded immediately, however, as they equalized just two minutes later through a goal from Alexander Mitrovic. However, Bayer Leverkusen refused to back down and responded with another goal in the 26th minute, this time courtesy of a header from Julian Weigl.
The second half saw more goals as Schick scored a hat-trick for Bayer Leverkusen, with the first coming in the 55th minute. He finished off a move that started with a cross from Wirtz, who set up the play with a clever pass. Schick then added a second goal in the 79th minute, before finally completing his hat-trick in the 88th minute.
Wirtz also had a memorable night, setting a new assist record for a single match in Bundesliga history. The midfielder assisted on three goals, including Schick's hat-trick, which helped him break the previous record of two assists set by Marco Reus in a match against Mainz in 2015.
Overall, it was a dominant performance from Bayer Leverkusen, who showcased their attacking prowess and tactical discipline throughout the match. They will now look to build on this win and continue their push towards the top of the table.
