The players of Bayer Leverkusen took a big step towards winning the first title of Bundesliga champion in history, with a big victory in the big derby against Bayern - 3:0.
Ćabi Alonso's team plays phenomenal football, which finally resulted in a more tangible advantage in the table - the "pharmacists" are at the top with plus five.
Although there are 13 points in circulation until the end of the long 39 rounds, the question is whether anything can stop Bayer Leverkusen, who have not yet lost in 31 matches in all competitions this season.
Especially impressive was the game of the "pharmacist" in the derby - dominance from start to finish, mighty Bayern, which is in a series of 11 titles, could not keep up with that rhythm.
The home team, to make the irony even greater, was started by a Bayern player on loan at the "Bay Arena". Croatian Josip Stanišić, who in the 18th minute, at the second post, next to the static defense of Tomas Tuchel's team, knocked the ball under the crossbar.
The advantage of Bayer in the 50th minute was doubled by Spaniard Alex Grimaldo, after a phenomenal action - a phenomenal assist by Nathan Tell, a phenomenal shot, and the final 3:0 was made by the Dutchman Jeremy Frimpong in the fifth minute of extra time, taking advantage of Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's "excursion" into the opponent's penalty area.
Bayer has 55 points, five more than Bayern and even 15 more than Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund. He also has a chance to change history.
Bayer is a big club, a finalist in the Champions League in 2002, but the club has only two big trophies in its treasury - the UEFA Cup in 1988 and the German Cup in 1993.
The smell of the first Salatara can be felt in the "Baj Arena"...
