Bayer Leverkusen's Late Heroics Keep Title Hopes Alive
In the 28th round of the German Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen played away to one of the league's relegation battlers, 1. FC Heidenheim.

With this dramatic victory, Bayer Leverkusen, managed by Xabi Alonso, remains in the championship race. They trail Bayern Munich by six points, with six matches left to play.
