Hertha Berlin holds Bayer Leverkusen back with a draw

Hertha Berlin was facing a depleted squad of Bayer Leverkusen they were missing nine key players due to illness and injury, and surely the draw could be linked to that fact. They lacked depth on the bench and failed to secure a late winner. While Coach Peter Bosz was allowed to change just one thing the match ended in a 0-0 draw. Leverkusen despite the draw climbed to third the table above Borussia Dortmund.

Leverkusen was dominant to start with registering 14 shots compared to Hertha’s five but the shots were not perfect. Both the team's goalkeepers were busy defending throughout the 90 minutes Leverkusen midfielder Kerem Demirbay was looking deadly with his long-range shooting. And Lars Bender also had a great opportunity to score but went wide. Hertha sits at 13th position avoiding relegation.
