: Granit Xhaka scored the only goal as a 10-man Bayer Leverkusen beat Kaiserslautern 1-0 to lift the German Cup in Berlin on Saturday and give the club the league-cup double.
“To win like that at the end, we showed our team spirit. We fought hard, we did it for everyone, the fans, the club,“ Xabi Alonso told Germany’s ARD.Alonso won praise from his opposing coach Friedhelm Funkel, 70, who was managing his last game before retiring. Kossounou, who was left out of Wednesday’s loss in Dublin, returned to the starting line-up and picked up a yellow card after just two minutes for a robust challenge on Kenny Prince Redondo.
Kossounou’s early yellow proved crucial when the Ivorian was sent from the pitch after a second booking in the 44th minute. Leverkusen’s incredible season was built on front-foot football but Alonso’s side were content to sit back and defend in the second half before attacking on the counter.
