Bayer Leverkusen secured a historic victory against Hertha BSC on Sunday night, securing a 4-0 triumph in front of their home fans at the Allianz Arena. The match was marred by high-pressure moments as both teams pushed for a goal.

With just over half-time, it appeared that Leverkusen had secured their first goal, but then Wirtz's stunning strike from outside the box proved to be the decisive moment of the game. Leverkusen were awarded the winner after only five minutes when Wirtz powered home a low shot from inside the area.

The duo of Wirtz and Schick continued their impressive form for Leverkusen, with Schick scoring his second goal of the evening after being brought down by Hertha defender Gerd Müller. The German forward was able to tap in the rebound off Müller's hand into the back of the net.

In addition to these two goals, Leverkusen also scored through Jordan Neumann and Stefan Keppler, while Florian Thauvin and Thomas Meulens added further assists. Overall, Leverkusen's performance was a credit to their experienced squad, who have been playing well under coach Christian Gourvennec.

Despite Leverkusen's success, Hertha BSC were not entirely content with their win, claiming their fourth defeat in a row. However, the result should still provide plenty of motivation for the team going forward in the coming weeks.

As Leverkusen head into the Champions League quarter-finals, they will look to continue their strong run of form and secure another victory against the Bundesliga giants. With their title aspirations firmly in sight, Leverkusen will undoubtedly be looking to build on this win against Hertha BSC in order to keep their momentum rolling.
