With seven matches remaining, Leverkusen have reignited what many considered a fading title race

Bayer Leverkusen kept their Bundesliga title hopes alive with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over struggling VfL Bochum in Matchday 27 action. The Werkself were made to work for their three points at the BayArena, with goals from Aleix Garcia, Victor Boniface, and Passlack securing the crucial win.
