Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen drew 1-1, with Josip Stanisic scoring a last-minute equalizer in the 97th minute to help the champions continue their unbeaten streak.

Josip Stanisic, the hero of Bayer Leverkusen, sent the English Premier League buzzing as he scored a crucial goal in injury time to salvage a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund. This remarkable goal extended Leverkusen’s unbeaten run to an impressive 45 matches.

Fresh off their Bundesliga triumph and a midweek victory over West Ham in the UEFA Europa League, Leverkusen found themselves facing a spirited Dortmund side. Dortmund had just secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals by defeating Atletico Madrid.

Despite Leverkusen dominating possession for most of the game, it was Dortmund who came closest to scoring in the first half. Marcel Sabitzer’s shot was expertly saved by Finnish goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky. Leverkusen’s Nathan Tella also had a golden opportunity, but his close-range effort was blocked by Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

Dortmund seemed poised to end Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak when Sabitzer delivered a perfect cross to Niclas Fullkrug, who unleashed a powerful strike to put his team ahead.

However, Leverkusen had other plans. In the 97th minute, Alejandro Grimaldo’s corner found the head of Stanisic, who made no mistake and headed the ball into the back of the net. This dramatic equalizer ensured that Leverkusen’s unbeaten record remained intact.

With this draw, Dortmund now sits just two points behind RB Leipzig in the battle for fourth place. Their next match against Leipzig promises to be a thrilling encounter as both teams fight for a coveted Champions League spot.

Josip Stanisic’s heroics have once again highlighted Leverkusen’s resilience and determination. Their unbeaten run continues to impress, and they have firmly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in German football.
