Bayer Leverkusen edge out Wolfsburg

Bayer Leverkusen have beaten Wolfsburg 3-1 thanks to a solid second-half display in the Bundesliga.

It was Sebastian Boenisch for the hosts who had the first sight of goal, but his effort from distance went wide of the left-hand post.

Wolfsburg came into the came and Diego had a 19th-minute effort blocked, but the hosts were ahead five minutes later.

Simon Rolfes looked up and threaded the ball through to Sidney Sam, who had cut inside, and the winger slotted it into the bottom corner.

With six minutes of the first half remaining Ivica Olic netted a fine leveller, taking down a Ricardo Rodriguez cross and rifling into the top corner.

In the second half Bayer started to dominate the game and they went ahead through Stefan Kiessling on 65 minutes as the striker nodded in from a Gonzalo Castro free kick.

The German striker completed the scoring in injury time to give his side all three points.
