THE GAME
The game started with intense dominance from the home team, who managed to put pressure on the champions for the first 15 minutes. At this point, German full-back Felix Passlack destroyed a clear move by Leverkusen, which resulted in a red card for the player.
After the expulsion, Bayer Leverkusen took control of the match and began to dominate Bochum. Patrick Schick opened the scoring for the visitors in the 41st minute, finishing from the left after an assist from Brazilian full-back Arthur, formerly of América-MG.
Leverkusen’s top scorer in the league, Victor Boniface, added to the team in the 47th minute by taking a penalty.
The second half followed the same script, with Bayer maintaining broad dominance over 14th place. Amine Adli extended the leaders’ advantage in the 31st minute of the second half (7 minutes after coming off the bench), heading in a corner.
The fourth goal came from a beautiful shot by Croatian Josip Stanisic, in the 41st minute of the second half. There was still time for left-back Alejandro Grimaldo to score the fifth after a counterattack, which gave final numbers to the match
