Two goals and a come-from-behind defeat → Coach Alonso said, "I'm not used to it, but I accept it."
Leverkusen lost 2-3 at home to Leipzig in the second round of the Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at Biarena in Leverkusen, Germany on the 1st (Korea time). He scored two goals first, but he gave up three goals to secure the victory.
It is the first time in 462 days that Leverkusen has seen a bitter taste of defeat in a Bundesliga match since the last match of the 2022-2023 season against Bochum (0-3 loss).
In the 2023-2024 season, Leverkusen made a remarkable leap to the top of the Bundesliga with a 'unbeatable streak'.
Leverkusen continued its good atmosphere the previous season with a 3-2 win over Mönchengladbach in the opening game this season, but the end was over.
Leverkusen lost somewhat futilely. The team led 2-0 in the first half, and the opposing coach even left the game after strongly protesting against the referee's decision.
First, in the 25th minute of the first half, Leipzig was sent off after receiving two warnings. Leverkusen then led the way with consecutive goals by Jeremy Frimpong in the 38th minute and Alejandro Grimaldo in the 45th minute.
However, it collapsed in the 52nd minute of the first half, allowing multiple goals to Oppenda in the 2nd minute of the second half and 35th minute of the second half.
After the game, Leverkusen coach Alonso said, "I'm not used to losing, but I'll accept it," adding, "There's no natural victory in the Bundesliga because all the opponents are strong."
