Chicharito and Leverkusen draw blank with Bayern, Fabian records first Bundesliga assist

Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich settled for a goalless draw on Saturday as Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez failed to get on the scoresheet against the German champions in a hard-fought game at the BayArena.

Despite having a few touches, it was another good outing for the Mexican international, who came closest to opening the scoring in the 53rd minute when a shot from long-rage missed by just a few inches of Manuel Neuer's goal.

In the 83rd minute, Xabi Alonso was sent off with a second yellow for a foul on Chicharito, but Bayer Leverkusen were unable to take advantage in the closing minutes of the match, as the game was decided with a draw.
