Bayer Leverkusen have moved into the Bundesliga’s top six with a narrow 1-0 win over Hamburg, ending a three-game winless streak in all competitions.

Bayer Leverkusen who were desperately seeking a win came close to opening the scoring in the 13th minute, but Martin Terrier’s effort hit the crossbar.

The first half was lackluster ad both team struggled to create chances.

Hamburg’s defence held strong, keeping Leverkusen’s attack at bay for most of the game, but the visitors eventually broke through in the 70th minute.
