Kovář, who is twenty-three, started in the Europa League for the tenth time this season. His Czech teammates Patrik Schick and Adam Hložek spent the match on the bench.
Schick played for the Italian team from 2017 to 2019, Hložek at least returned to the substitutes after almost a month when he was absent due to an ankle injury.
The home side could have taken the lead in the 21st minute, but Lukaku headed home the crossbar. Instead, the visitors scored in the 28th minute.
The Karsdorp defender “grabbed” the ball with an errant back pass to Grimaldo, who passed it to Wirtz and made no mistake. Andrich added insurance in the 73rd minute with a display shot from behind the goal.
In the set-up, after a mistake by Kovář, the substitute Abraham almost lowered, but went over from close range.
Bayer won away after three competitive draws and beat AS in the cups after five games. At the same time, he avenged the 0:1 loss that was almost a year old from the Olympic Stadium.
“We managed it very well, it will give us a big boost. We have finished the first half successfully, we have to prove it at home,” German media quoted Andrich as saying.
Bergamo, who knocked out eight-time winners Sparta Prague and paper favorites in the quarter-finals, got off to a better start in Marseille.
Italian international Scamacca continued Liverpool’s two-goal performance at Anfield and put Atalanta ahead in the 11th minute. In less than 10 minutes, Mbemba stopped his balance.
