After 11 years of Bayern Munchen dominance, Bayer Leverkusen moved closer to halt their run with another important 1-0 narrow victory over Union Berlin on Saturday.
German International Florian Wirtz was the hero, with the sole goal of the encounter.
The result meant Alonso’s side are now 16 points ahead of Bayern who succumbed to a 3-2 defeat to league debutants, Heidenheim on the same day.
Leverkusen is home to Nigerian stars Nathan Tella, and Victor Boniface. The duo got involved in the final stanza after coming off the bench.
Maximum points in their next assignment against Werder Bremen at home, sees the Red and Black lift their first ever Bundesliga title.
More cup honours could follow at the club this season with a spot in German Cup final, and a date in quarter-finals of the Europa League where they take on English Premier league side, West Ham United.
