Thrilling Goals in Quick Succession
Stunning First Half Action
In a remarkable stretch lasting just nine minutes, three outstanding goals were netted. The excitement kicked off in the 35th minute when Xaver Schlager executed an impressive dribble, leaving two defenders behind. He then unleashed a powerful strike from approximately 16 meters out, finding the bottom left corner and putting his team ahead.
A Memorable Equalizer
Next, everyone likely remembers the sensational backheel goal from Martin Terrier of Leverkusen last week. Although today’s goal may not match that brilliance, it was still quite impressive. Terrier connected with a cross from Arthur, heading the ball from close range into the far corner, leveling the score for Leverkusen.
Quick Turnaround for the Lead
Just four minutes later, Patrik Schick, his teammate, took his chance and elegantly maneuvered around Nedeljkovic in the penalty area before launching the ball into the top right corner from short distance.
A Shift in Momentum
With this whirlwind of goals, the game turned on its head, resulting in the Werkself leading 2-1 as the teams headed to the halftime break.
Anticipation for the Second Half
Given the excitement in those final minutes, fans can eagerly anticipate the potential brilliance that Schick, Schlager, and their teammates might deliver in the second half.
