Bayer Leverkusen 3:0 Rot-Weiss Essen — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Bayer 04 Leverkusen beat Rot-Weiss Essen 3-0 in a Club Friendly Game, with Ezequiel Fernández the standout player despite not scoring. Ibrahim Maza opened the scoring in the ninth minute before Patrik Schick doubled the lead in the 23rd, giving the hosts a comfortable cushion that they never looked like relinquishing.

The contest was effectively settled inside the opening half-hour, as Maza’s early strike and Schick’s second left Rot-Weiss Essen chasing the game. Gianluca Swajkowski was booked in the 30th minute, and the away side’s frustration grew with yellows for Max Geschwill and James Gnagnon either side of the hour. Montrell Culbreath sealed the win in the 79th minute, assisted by Afonso Moreira, while Jonah Berghoff and Loïc Badé picked up late bookings for Leverkusen.

Possession was dead level at 50% each, but Leverkusen’s five corners to two told the story of territorial control. Fernández earned a rating of 7.39 from midfield, the highest on the pitch, underlining his influence without a goal. The result was a routine warm-up win, with the efficiency of the finishing proving the difference against a side that offered little beyond defensive resistance.
