Bayer increases
The game seemed to be over, but Schalke got another chance to come back. After a foul by Daley Sinkgraven on Suat Serdar there was a penalty for Royal Blue, but Lukas Hradecky sensed the corner and saved Skrzybski’s penalty in the lower left corner from the shooter. Schick then made the final decision with a full shot after a quick switchover (78th). The victory was okay in terms of height, Leverkusen controlled the game continuously, the brave Schalke hardly ever had any real chances.
“We’re totally annoyed, it almost sucks when you see a game like this. We invest endlessly. The worst part is how we get our goals, that’s too cheap.”, said Baum. His counterpart Bosz said: “I am incredibly happy with the result. It was absolutely not an easy game, not as easy as the result looks. We controlled the game, but not dominated.”
Both opponents are back in action in the league next Sunday (December 13th, 2020). Schalke will be visiting Augsburg, the Werkself will host the Europa team after their home game against Slavia Prague on Thursday (December 10th, 2020) League then 1899 Hoffenheim.
