Ibrahim Maza scored and provided an assist as Bayer Leverkusen came from behind to beat Freiburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Sunday, 18 October 2026.
The Algeria international contributed directly to both of Leverkusen’s goals, helping Xabi Alonso’s side recover from an early setback and secure victory.
Freiburg took the lead in the 14th minute when Derry Scherhant found the net. Leverkusen’s response was immediate, with Maza equalising just five minutes later.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder finished the move to bring the scores level and give his team renewed momentum after conceding first.
Maza remained influential after the interval and was again central to Leverkusen’s winning goal. In the 76th minute, he delivered a precise pass to Patrik Schick, who converted to complete the turnaround.
The performance takes Maza’s tally for the season to two goals and two assists. His latest display further underlines his growing importance in Bayer Leverkusen’s attacking plans and moves him closer to the figures he recorded during the previous campaign.
