The remaining time in the match.
Was pure torment for Bayer Leverkusen's fans.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's attacks grew increasingly fierce.
Their two deep-lying playmakers rotated the ball out from deep.
Keeping Bayer Leverkusen's defense scrambling from one flank to the other.
Leo Kang repeatedly seized opportunities to launch counterattacks.
Unfortunately.
Sommer was playing like he had cheats enabled.
Brandt and Son Heung-min were both denied time and again.
Beep! Beep-beep~
When the referee blew the final whistle.
The Bayer Leverkusen players who had held onto the scoreline let out a sigh of relief, but did not celebrate immediately.
Hilbert had cramped up.
Brandt lay flat on his back on the turf.
A moment later.
Only a few players were still able to remain standing.
Leno was kissing the goalpost.
Kießling and Son Heung-min had absurd stamina. They looked completely fine.
Leo Kang bent over with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath.
During the final twenty-odd minutes of the match.
There had barely been any stoppages or dead-ball time.
Xhaka and Dahoud's long-range distribution had drained Bayer Leverkusen's defenders far too much.
No wonder Borussia Mönchengladbach, after opening the original timeline with six straight losses, could still fight their way back to fourth in the Bundesliga.
