Caught the Bayer Leverkusen and Elversberg match last night. Leverkusen took the win with 3-0. Schick scored twice within the first 10 minutes, and Aleix García added another at 36’. Did anyone else watch? Thoughts on the match?
Yeah, watched it! Schick was on fire right from the start. Leverkusen had so much possession too, was it like 66%?

Exactly, they dominated possession. Elversberg just couldn’t keep up with Leverkusen’s pace.
Anyone know where to find highlights? Missed the match but heard it was a good one.

Yeah, that’s where I watched the highlights. Leverkusen’s passing game was so clean. Especially Palacios in the final third.
Elversberg’s defense looked really shaky. 5-3-2 setup, but they still couldn’t hold Leverkusen back.

Right? And Rohr was pretty much the only one winning duels for Elversberg.

Yeah, their midfield just couldn’t intercept much either. Gotta step it up if they want to last in this tournament.
Noticed they brought Arthur in midfield for Leverkusen. His dribbling stats were solid.

Totally, Arthur completed 3 dribbles. Tella and Palacios were all over the place too, causing fouls and creating chances.

Tella’s involvement really stood out for me—didn’t he win a bunch of aerial duels?
I thought the BayArena attendance was impressive! Pretty packed for a cup match.
