VfL Wolfsburg suffered their first home defeat in their fourth home match of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season. After three wins, it was leaders Bayer 04 Leverkusen who ended the Wolves’ perfect record at the Volkswagen Arena, claiming a 2-1 victory. Maxence Lacroix cancelled out Jeremie Frimpong’s opener shortly before half-time, but VfL could find no reply to the second strike from the Bundesliga’s form team, despite forcing them to hang on at the end.
