BERLIN (AP) — Bayer Leverkusen did everything but score as Bayern Munich held on for a 0-0 draw that kept it eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Bayern was pegged back for the whole game but Leverkusen — with center forwards Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface watching from the substitutes’ bench — failed to score for the second consecutive game.

Bayern managed only one shot at goal, a blocked effort from Harry Kane, while Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz went agonizingly close to winning in stoppage time when he shot just wide of the left post after Manuel Neuer saved Amine Adli’s effort.

Leverkusen, the defending champion, twice hit the crossbar in the first half.

Twelve rounds remain.
