Bayer Leverkusen’s Unbeaten Streak: A Look At Harry Kane’s Victory Pursuit At Bundesliga 2024
Bayer Leverkusen continues to impress, extending their unbeaten streak to an incredible 46 games this season with a thrilling 2-2 draw against Stuttgart.
Robert Andrich’s last-minute goal salvaged a crucial point for Leverkusen, showcasing their resilience and ability to snatch results in dramatic fashion. This match also marked Harry Kane‘s quest for a Bundesliga goal record, as he inches closer to a historic achievement.
The match saw Leverkusen facing potential defeat for the first time this season, trailing 2-1 late in stoppage time. However, Andrich’s decisive strike in the dying moments ensured Leverkusen’s unbeaten run remained intact. This resilience is not new for Xabi Alonso’s side, as they had previously secured a late draw against Borussia Dortmund with a goal in injury time.
Stuttgart had taken the lead with two quick goals early in the second half, but Leverkusen fought back with determination. Amine Adli’s goal narrowed the gap, setting the stage for Andrich’s dramatic equalizer. Leverkusen’s ability to capitalize on key moments and secure crucial points has been a hallmark of their season, with 10 instances of late goals or equalizers across all competitions.
Alonso emphasized the team’s persistence, stating, “We tried until the end,” highlighting the belief instilled by crucial goals like Adli’s earlier in the match. On the other side, Stuttgart’s coach expressed disbelief at the outcome, describing it as “very unlucky” from their perspective.
Meanwhile, Harry Kane’s scoring prowess was on full display as he netted twice for Bayern Munich in a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. This performance set a new personal record for Kane, with 35 Bundesliga goals in 31 games this season. Kane’s impressive form puts him within reach of Robert Lewandowski’s single-season goal record, further solidifying his impact in the league.
Despite challenges such as injuries to key players like Konrad Laimer and Matthijs de Ligt, Bayern Munich remains in a positive momentum, particularly after their Champions League success against Arsenal. Kane’s contributions have been pivotal, with a remarkable tally of 42 goals in all competitions this campaign.
As the Bundesliga season progresses, the race for top positions intensifies, with teams like Leipzig and Dortmund vying for Champions League spots. Leipzig’s dominant 4-1 win over Dortmund showcased their strength, while other teams like Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg also secured crucial victories in their respective matches.
Overall, the Bundesliga continues to provide thrilling action and captivating storylines as teams strive for success on both domestic and European fronts.
