Bayern maintain eight-point lead with draw at Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich played out a goalless draw, leaving Bayern eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen, last season’s champions, dominated possession and created more chances, while Bayern failed to register a shot until the 73rd minute.

Harry Kane, with 21 goals this season, had a quiet game, missing his only real chance. Leverkusen hit the bar twice in the first half through Jeremie Frimpong and Nathan Tella, who remained a constant threat.

In stoppage time, Amine Adli’s strike was saved by Manuel Neuer, securing Bayern a point. Leverkusen looked fresher but lacked finishing precision.

Bayern, under Vincent Kompany, now turn their focus to the Champions League, leading Celtic 2-1 ahead of Tuesday’s second leg.
