He went to … hurt her the way she had been inflicting wounds on her opponents throughout the last season. He conceded a goal in the 85th minute, with the Gladbach to return from 2-0 down to 2-2. And yet, the Leverkusen… it doesn’t die! With 10 minute delays due to an interruption for tobacco products, “aspirins” were imposed 3-2 with Virj at 90’+10′ to hit from the “rebound” of his own missed penalty!
This time he didn’t want to save anything for last. OR Champion she had to and wanted to be imposing and she succeeded in the first half. And it was… a recital of efforts from long distances in the first half for the “aspirins”. THE Fireplace with a left “lightning” in the 12th minute he made it 1-0 and respected his former team, since he has also honored Gladbach’s shirt. Boniface had a crossbar, Tapsoba “threw” and his own… “shell” which for a while did not find its target and Virge finally came to score the second goal.

In the 38th minute, the German striker with a shot inside the area took advantage of the confusion for a two-goal lead in Leverkusen, which, thanks to VAR, avoided reducing the score. Shortly before the break, he conceded a goal in a very strange way, since Clydeinst he fell with a projection and finally scored with his head, but it turned out that he had also hit the opposing defender, as a result of which the 2-0 remained.

The smoke generators of Gladbach fans filled the atmosphere, blurred the landscape and the referee for several minutes ordered the players to wait until visibility was restored. And when the match resumed, the hosts found a goal to reduce and gain hope again with 2-1.
With a double effort by Elvedi in the 59th minute after a great save by Hratetski, the score was reduced. And while Leverkusen maintained absolute control, one mistake could “doom” them. Tapsoba stayed on Kleidinst’s back and he made it 2-2 from close range. But this Leverkusen has made a deal with the devil never to lose.
He won a penalty at 90′ + 10′, Virge was defeated by the white bullet, but in the “rebound” he took he made no mistake and wrote the final 3-2!
