Bayer Leverkusen achieved a wide victory over its guest Freiburg with a score of 5-1 in the 15th round of the Bundesliga.
The star of the match was Petr Cech, who scored 4 goals, a “super hat-trick”, the first of its kind this season in the German league.
Perhaps the most beneficiary of this victory was coach Xabi Alonso, as he achieved a historic number by all standards that indicates his quality as a coach.
Thanks to this victory, the number of victories achieved by Alonso with Leverkusen in the Bundesliga became 50 wins out of 75 matches he played.
Thus, Alonso became the second coach in history to reach this huge number of victories in a short period, after Pep Guardiola, who achieved a better number with Bayern Munich (50 wins after 61 matches).
With this win, Bayer Leverkusen reached 32 points, maintaining a 4-point gap with leaders Bayern Munich after the end of the first half of the season in Germany and everyone going on vacation until mid-January.
It is worth noting that Alonso took over Leverkusen while they were fighting relegation the season before last, and quickly turned things around and achieved the Bundesliga without defeat last season, as well as winning the Cup and Super Cup.
