In a game between two formally equally strong opponents, only one goal made the difference in the end.
Leon Bailey served Moussa Diaby, who scored 1-0 in the 14th minute of the game.
No further goal was scored until the break, so Leverkusen took a tour into the locker room.
Julian Brandt equalized in the 67th minute after an assist by Raphael Adelino José Guerreiro.
In the 69th minute, Peter Bosz switched and sent Patrik Schick and Kerem Demirbay onto the pitch in a double substitution for Lucas Alario and Charles Aránguiz.
The fact that Bayer hoped for victory in the closing stages was thanks to Florian Wirtz, who was there in the 80th minute.
Coach Edin Terzic wanted to bring his team's game forward and replaced the more defensive Jude Bellingham with the more offensive Youssoufa Moukoko (83).
When referee Felix Zwayer whistled the game, Bayer 04 Leverkusen finally claimed a 2-1 home win for themselves.
In the last match of the first half of the season, the Werkself did something for their self-confidence, took three points and are now in second place.
Above all, anyone who wants to defeat the hosts has to find a recipe to put the back team in trouble.
Leverkusen only conceded 17 goals.
The record of the last five games at Bayer can still be improved.
