Bayer Leverkusen 2-4 Borussia Dortmund, Bundesliga: Guirassy Scores As Alonso Loses Last Home Game

In a bittersweet farewell for manager Xabi Alonso, Bayer Leverkusen suffered a 4-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the BayArena in Matchday 33 of the German Bundesliga 2024-25 on 11 May. Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring for the hosts in the 30th minute, but Dortmund quickly responded with goals from Julian Brandt and Julian Ryerson to lead 2-1 at halftime. In a rather scrappy second half, Dortmund extended their advantage through Karim Adeyemi and Serhou Guirassy, effectively sealing the match. Jonas Hofmann managed a late consolation goal for Leverkusen in stoppage time.
