The Czech football team Patrik Schick scored in the first match after the transfer to Leverkusen. He helped Bayer in the German Cup with one goal to a high 7-0 win at Norderstedt in the fourth league.
The Bundesliga team decided on a clear promotion among the 32 best teams in the competition, six goals in the opening half hour. Schick came on to the pitch after a break, replacing Lucas Alario at the tip of his attack. With 77 minutes played, Bayer nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar.
The 24-year-old striker completed a move to the Bundesliga on Tuesday. Leverkusen paid AS Rome 26.5 million euros (almost 703 million crowns) for it.
Only after the penalties did Hoffenheim advance, who played with Chemnitzer 2: 2 after extra time. Pavel Kadeřábek played for the Bundesliga favorite only 20 minutes, then the new coach Sebastian Hoeness had to replace him due to an unspecified injury.
