Bayern Munich completed half a century of Bundesliga games without defeat with victory over the only remaining league side they have not beaten yet this season.
They showed why they have proven to be a thorn in Bayern's side with a bold beginning to the game, Stefan Kiessling sending Heung-Min Son through for a good early chance which the South Korean slotted wide of the far post.
With Borussia Dortmund losing earlier on Saturday, Bayern now have a 23-point advantage at the top of the table and could wrap up the title quicker than anybody ever before with a win at Mainz next weekend.
Leverkusen, who drew at home to Bayern earlier this season, were the last side to beat the Bavarians in October 2012.
They showed why they have proven to be a thorn in Bayern's side with a bold beginning to the game, Stefan Kiessling sending Heung-Min Son through for a good early chance which the South Korean slotted wide of the far post.
Kiessling was almost faced with only Manuel Neuer to beat in the 14th minute, but the offside flag stopped him in his tracks.
While they were not creating many chances, Bayern were playing their usual possession game and they finally made the breakthrough just a minute before half-time.
