On Sunday evening, Bayer Leverkusen overcame their fierce rivals Hertha BSC in the 32nd round of the Bundesliga season, securing a crucial victory that puts them firmly on track to secure a top-half finish.

The match was full of excitement from start to finish, with both teams playing at their best throughout the game. However, it was Leverkusen who emerged victorious thanks to a standout performance from Wirtz, who scored twice and provided two assists for his teammates.

Wirtz's first goal came in the 74th minute, as he slotted home from close range after a well-worked move down the left wing. His second goal arrived in the 85th minute, when he capitalized on a defensive mistake by Hertha BSC to slot past their goalkeeper from just outside the box.

Despite being down to ten men for much of the second half due to a red card, Leverkusen held firm and secured their win, setting themselves up for a potentially crucial run-in to the end of the season.

The victory is particularly important for Bayer Leverkusen, who have been struggling in recent weeks. The team has struggled to find their form since the departure of key players like Thiago Silva and Kevin Volland, but Wirtz and his teammates showed their resilience and determination against Hertha BSC.

With the match now out of the way, Bayer Leverkusen will turn their attention to the next challenge - a tough clash with Werder Bremen on Wednesday night. But with a strong showing against Hertha BSC behind them, the team should be confident going into the match and looking forward to another strong performance.
