Florian Wirtz may have scored the best goal of the Bundesliga season on Sunday afternoon. The technically gifted German received a pass from Jeremie Frimpong and sublimely dribbled past Freiburg midfielder Nicolas Höfler several times before finishing. It was the opening goal in the match against SC Freiburg, which ultimately ended 2-1. Leverkusen is therefore once again the leader of the Bundesliga.
Particularities:
Ten minutes before half-time, Wirtz showed his magic. He was played on the right side of the sixteen and played his direct opponent Höfler very nicely several times. Nobody could stop Wirtz, who eventually finished: 1-0.
Wirtz was important again after an hour. This time, after a nice dribble, he provided the assist to Jonas Hofmann, who scored from about eighteen meters. his effort hit the post, but he was lucky that the ball ended up in the goal via goalkeeper Noah Atubolu: 2-0.
Freiburg managed to make it exciting. Twenty minutes before the end, Manuel Gulde made it 2-1. The substitute, who had been on the field for two minutes, converted Vincenzo Griffo’s sharp free kick with his head into an assist. However, that’s all, meaning Leverkusen is now two points clear of closest pursuer Bayern Munich. Freiburg is eighth.
