The home side were expected to be more active at the outset and had two good opportunities - first, Kimius centered dangerously with a foul, but Martinez failed to direct the ball with his head in the 6th minute. Three years later, Gnabri worked a nice pass to Alaba, but fired into the beam guarded by the Hradecki door. Leuerkuzen`s visitors found the score a minute later - Leon Bailey used a great pass from center fielder Kevin Foland, then sent the ball into the bottom right corner of Neuer for a 1-0 lead. , which made Peter Bosse`s players stay longer in the opponent`s half.
In the 18th minute, Muller had a tremendous opportunity after Gnabri drew both Hradecki and Sven Bender to him, diverting the ball to Muller.

Bayern`s pressure intensified and, in the 58th minute, Perisic failed to score after Pavar`s balloon centering, and in the next two minutes Hradecki was the main character, saving Levandowski`s consistent shots.
Even without Bailey, who left due to a 63-minute injury, Leverkusen`s players continued to create dangers
