Bayer Leverkusen Cruise to Win at Holstein Kiel, Narrowing Gap with Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen showed their dominance against last-place Kiel as they took the lead early in the match. Just 10 minutes in, home goalkeeper Timon Weiner made a crucial save, pushing a cross from Amine Adli to Patrik Schick who calmly tapped the ball into the net.

Adli added a second on the stroke of half time, collecting a pass from Florian Wirtz and chipping Weiner.

Leverkusen have now gone 28 away games without defeat, a record for the club.

However, it was a statistic which did not excite coach Xavi Alonso.

"It's not the most important thing and we don't get a medal for it," said Alonso.

"But it means that we are very stable and that we have a top mentality. We don't want to stop now, we want to keep going."
