Bayer Leverkusen went through the entire last season undefeated in Bundesliga, but now the undefeated streak is over for the reigning champions.
Despite a 2–0 lead at home against Leipzig, it was a loss, 2–3, for Leverkusen. Loïs Openda scored both the equalizing and winning goals for the visitors, the last in the 80th minute.
Thus, Bayer Leverkusen's streak of 35 league matches without a loss came to an end.
