Bayer Leverkusen Defeats Augsburg 2-0 in Bundesliga

Bayer Leverkusen secured a 2-0 victory over FC Augsburg, climbing to second place in the Bundesliga and narrowing the gap to leaders Bayern Munich, who suffered their first defeat of the season against Mainz. Martin Terrier opened the scoring in the 14th minute before Florian Wirtz doubled the lead just before halftime with an impressive strike. Although Augsburg had a goal disallowed for offside and made attempts to respond in the second half, Leverkusen's defense remained solid throughout the match. This win marks Leverkusen's fourth consecutive league triumph and extends their winning streak to seven matches across all competitions. Wirtz, who has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last five league appearances, was particularly influential in the match. The victory leaves Leverkusen on 29 points, just four behind Bayern Munich.
