BERLIN — Bayer Leverkusen has done everything but score as Bayern Munich held on for a 0-0 draw that keeps it eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Bayern was pegged back for the whole game but Leverkusen failed to score for the second consecutive game. Center forwards Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface watched from the substitutes' bench on Saturday. 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. Twelve rounds remain.
