Dortmund endured a frustrating afternoon that began with early disciplinary trouble. Ramy Bensebaini picked up a yellow card in the 5th minute, setting the tone for a combative encounter. Sehrou Guirassy was also booked for the hosts just before the break in the 45th minute, while substitute Maximilian Beier saw yellow in the 63rd minute as Dortmund pushed for an equaliser.

Leverkusen adjusted their attacking options shortly after the interval, bringing on Patrik Schick for Christian Kofane in the 54th minute. Dortmund responded with a flurry of substitutions, introducing Beier for Daniel Svensson on 59 minutes, then Carney Chukwuemeka and Samuele Inácio for Marcel Sabitzer and Fábio Silva respectively in the 64th minute. Later, Salih Özcan and Almugera Kabar entered for Jobe Bellingham and Julian Ryerson in the 76th minute as the home side searched for a route back into the match.

Leverkusen freshened their wide and attacking options in the 74th minute, with Lucas Vázquez replacing Montrell Culbreath and Ernest Poku coming on for Nathan Tella. In the closing stages, Malik Tillman took the place of Ibrahim Maza in the 90th minute to help see out the result.

The available data does not include detailed shot counts, possession figures or clear-chance descriptions, but it confirms that Andrich’s 42nd-minute goal separated the sides. The result further boosts Leverkusen’s position in the Bundesliga standings, while Dortmund are left to regroup after a narrow home defeat.
