90+11': Bayer Leverkusen Continue Last-Gasp Drama, Beat Gladbach In First 2024-25 Bundesliga Game
Granit Xhaka praised his side's "pure mentality" as Florian Wirtz's goal in the 11th minute of stoppage time snatched a 3-2 win for reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen at Borussia Moenchengladbach in Friday's Bundesliga opener. Leverkusen were cruising at half-time, after a Xhaka stunner and a Wirtz goal gave Xabi Alonso's side a two-goal lead. With rain teeming down at Gladbach's Borussia Park, Nico Elvedi brought the hosts closer with a 59th-minute strike before newcomer Tim Kleindienst levelled the scores with five minutes remaining.
