Leverkusen secured a crucial 1-0 victory, with Florian Wirtz netting the decisive goal from the penalty spot.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's unexpected 3-2 defeat against Heidenheim earlier in the day has widened Leverkusen's lead at the top of the table to 16 points.
With this commanding advantage, Leverkusen now require just one more victory to secure their maiden Bundesliga title, marking a historic milestone for the club under Alonso's management.
