Title: Schick Scores Hat-Trick, Wirtz Establishes New Assists Record for Bayer Leverkusen in Match Against Hertha BSC

On the afternoon of March 16th, Bayer Leverkusen secured their place at the top of Bundesliga with a convincing victory over Hertha Berlin. This was the first time since 2017 that the two teams have faced each other and it was clear from the start that this would be a significant match.

The first goal came in the opening minutes as Schick, who had been on the bench earlier, scored from a free kick. The ball flew past the goalkeeper and fell to Schick, who used his quick feet to turn the ball into the back of the net. It was a stunning strike that gave Leverkusen a 1-0 lead after just five minutes.

It was not long before Wirtz also scored, however, this time from a penalty spot. With the clock ticking down to the end, Leverkusen were able to hold onto the lead thanks to a well-taken penalty. The German international calmly converted the penalty, securing the victory for Leverkusen.

The second half saw both teams battle it out fiercely until the final whistle. Both sides were looking to secure a win but it was clear that Leverkusen had the better chance of scoring goals. In the 85th minute, Leverkusen's Christian Pöschel was brought down by Hertha defender, leaving him wide open for Schick to score again. However, Schick managed to beat the goalkeeper and convert the penalty, making it 2-1 in favor of Leverkusen.

This was the first hat-trick for Wirtz and it is no surprise that he has established himself as one of Germany's best strikers. He has already set a new assists record for Bayer Leverkusen with six goals in just four matches this season.

Despite their success, Leverkusen still face tough challenges in the upcoming matches. They will be facing Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League while also hosting Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final. Despite the pressure, they remain focused on maintaining their position in the league and hoping to qualify for the Europa League next season.

In conclusion, Leverkusen has proven themselves as one of Europe's most competitive clubs and they continue to impress with their performances. Their recent victories over Hertha Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen are proof that they can compete at the highest level. With Schick and Wirtz continuing to play at the highest level, we can expect even more exciting matches to come in the future.
