Bayer Leverkusen v Atlético Madrid Match Report, 06/11/2019

Bayer Leverkusen breathed life into their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid at the BayArena on Wednesday.

Diego Simeone's side could have secured their place in the last 16 with a win, having watched Juventus do likewise with a 2-1 victory away to Lokomotiv Moscow.

Thomas Partey's own goal gave Leverkusen a first-half lead, though, before Kevin Volland's strike secured a first win in a Champions League group game for Peter Bosz at the 10th time of asking.

Alvaro Morata got a late consolation after Nadiem Amiri had been sent off.
