Bayer Leverkusen’s players celebrate during the German first division Bundesliga football match between 1 FC Union Berlin and Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Berlin, Germany on April 6, 2024. Bayer Leverkusen are just three points from a first Bundesliga title after a 1-0 win at Union Berlin on Saturday, with Bayern Munich letting a two-goal lead slip in a 3-2 loss at Heidenheim.

The ever-reliable Kane, yet to miss a league match this campaign, opened the scoring, scrambling in a Gnabry assist after 38 minutes. Kleindienst struck again with 11 minutes remaining to snatch victory in their first home match against Bayern, a goal celebrated 460 kilometres away in Leverkusen.“The manner in which we lost today was too easy. Congratulations to Heidenheim. They turned the game on its head.”
