Bayer Leverkusen had to settle for a goalless draw at home against Stuttgart in Friday's match of the 9th Bundesliga round.
Leverkusen, who had already drawn 2-2 in Bremen last weekend, were superior and had several good opportunities to score the winner, especially in the last half hour. However, Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nübel made a strong save.
Granit Xhaka played through for Leverkusen, while Fabian Rieder came on for the injured Jamie Leweling after less than eight minutes and was substituted after less than an hour.
