Result and announcement
Bayer Leverkusen won 2-1 at SpVgg Unterhaching on 4 February 2001. Oliver Neuville scored the decisive goal in the 53rd minute after the teams had reached half-time level at 1-1. The match took place at Sportpark Unterhaching in the twentieth round of the Bundesliga season.
Detail
Ulf Kirsten put Leverkusen ahead in the 26th minute. Oliver Straube equalised six minutes later, restoring parity before the interval. Neuville's second-half goal therefore gave the visitors their second lead, rather than simply extending an advantage that had lasted from Kirsten's opener. Unterhaching did not score again after Straube's first-half reply.
