This was on the offensive relied on, even if it is not easy made the two lines of four of the Danes the Schmidt-protégés. Most of the time played out the action in midfield from, after a long pass from Toprak in the striker, the ball bounced off the back of the former Nuremberg professionals Per Nilsson in front of Bellarami. And did not hesitate long and scored the equalizer. Now finally more peace in the back line? Far from it, only a hair’s breadth escape Emir Spahic with a defensive attempt an own goal (37th), before Son with a counterattack Leverkusen scored the third goal before the break. “A very intense game,” judged Bayers team manager Hans-Peter Lehnhoff at Sky.

After the break, first it was primarily Son (56/63). Calhanoglu and (56) for risk. On the opposite side threatened slight inconvenience for long balls in the defense of the Bayer-Eleven.
