Bayer Leverkusen overcomes Mainz 05 with Schick and Diaby's goals, maintaining unbeaten record in Bundesliga.

Bayer Leverkusen have overcome Mainz 05 with their goal-scoring prowess to maintain their unbeaten record in the Bundesliga.

The German champions were unable to break through on Mainz's attacking trio of Schick, Goretzka and Jürgen Klopp. However, they managed to secure a vital point against the league leaders by scoring two late goals from the penalty spot.

It was a crucial victory for Leverkusen, who had been struggling in recent games and needed this win to bounce back after losing three consecutive matches. The club's manager, Julian Nagelsmann, praised his players for their hard work and dedication to the team.

"We came here with the belief that we could beat Mainz," said Nagelsmann. "We knew what we wanted to achieve and we did our best to do it. We played well together as a team and got a lot of good chances."

Another key factor in Leverkusen's success was their tactical approach. They started the game strongly and maintained possession throughout the match, which allowed them to create opportunities on their own territory. This resulted in a number of goals, including a brace from Christian Pulisic in the second half.

Overall, Leverkusen's performance was a testament to their resilience and determination. They showed why they are one of the top teams in Europe and why they will be a strong contender for the title next season.
