Match report
Leverkusen sink Leipzig with Gutiérrez involved in both goals
Bayer Leverkusen beat RB Leipzig 2-0 at BayArena in matchday four of the Bundesliga, a result that lifted Carles Martínez's side to fifth in the table while Leipzig stayed eighth under Miguel Demichelis.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The hosts broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time when Patrik Schick converted a Miguel Gutiérrez assist to make it 1-0 at the break. Gutiérrez turned provider into scorer early in the second half, netting himself in the 57th minute to double the advantage and put the game beyond Leipzig's reach.
Leverkusen controlled proceedings with 51 per cent of possession and were the sharper side in front of goal, registering 18 shots to Leipzig's 12 and six on target compared with three for the visitors. The home side also won nine corners to six, underlining their territorial edge, though referee Robert Schroder issued three yellow cards to Leipzig against two for Leverkusen in a fairly niggly contest.
Gutiérrez was involved in both goals for Leverkusen, setting up Schick before scoring himself, and finished with a rating of 8.1.
Leverkusen's 18 shots to Leipzig's 12 reflected their greater attacking threat throughout the match.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bayer Leverkusen 57%, the draw 24%, RB Leipzig 19%. It finished Bayer Leverkusen 2–0 RB Leipzig.
Bayer Leverkusen's rating edge carries it — Bayer Leverkusen are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Bayer Leverkusen's 57%. The draw at 24% is about what a gap this size usually leaves.
Why Bayer Leverkusen at 57%?
Bayer Leverkusen sit 134 points higher on our strength rating — 2009 to 1875. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge at home won 57.1% of 12,840 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 58–22–20.
Why only 57%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Bayer Leverkusen's column. Across 11,218 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018.
Why the draw at 24%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.1%. These teams' recent games average 4.0 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,298. The goals environment takes 2.1 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
RB Leipzig have shed 65 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: sliding sides won 34.7% of 9,779 such games vs 34.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. Bayer Leverkusen are 5 games into a new manager (Carles Martinez), appointed 29 days ago. The famous new-manager bounce doesn't survive its receipt: sides with a new manager beat their rating by 0.9 points over 33,420 games — but sides on an equally bad run who kept their manager beat it by 2.4 over 31,777. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
