Leverkusen visited Freiburg, with both sides hunting for European spots. Leverkusen knew that with a win they could move up to third in the Bundesliga table.
The away side dominated possession in the first half but neither side could get a shot on target. There were no great chances either, except one for Höler, who was through on goal, but ended up missing wide.
The second half was far more open after Havertz got his record-breaking 35th goal, when Bailey played him through after some brilliant hold-up play.
Pedersen had a chance late on when Günter delivered an underwhelming cross after he was played through by Heintz, but he was denied by Hrádecký.
