Bundesliga Round 24: Bayer Leverkusen defeats VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 with goals from Schick, Wirtz, and Diaby.

Bayer Leverkusen has secured their place in the Bundesliga play-offs after defeating VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday evening. The match saw goals from Emil Forsberg, Florian Wirtz and Nabil Bentaleb for Bayer Leverkusen as they sealed top spot in Group D.

The victory was a massive blow to VfL Wolfsburg who had been in impressive form over recent weeks but were unable to find the back of the net against the hosts. The win also gave Bayer Leverkusen a 15-point advantage over second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who face Bayern Munich next weekend.

Forsberg's goal in the 67th minute proved to be the game's turning point as he scored his first goal for the club since joining from Liverpool. Wirtz added to Bayer Leverkusen's lead just three minutes later, before Bentaleb wrapped up the scoring in stoppage time to secure all three points for his team.

Despite the defeat, VfL Wolfsburg will be hoping to bounce back in their final round of matches this season. The club's head coach, Peter Stöger, praised his players' resilience and determination after the match, saying that it was a tough test for them but they showed great character.

Overall, the result is a significant boost for Bayer Leverkusen and their chances of securing a place in the play-offs. However, the club will need to continue their strong form if they want to maintain their position at the top of the table. With two more games remaining in the group stage, there is still plenty of football left to be played and Bayer Leverkusen will have to stay focused if they hope to secure their place in the play-offs.
