Bayer Leverkusen 2:1 Sevilla FC — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Patrik Schick scored twice as Bayer 04 Leverkusen came from behind to beat Sevilla 2-1 in a friendly, with Miguel Ángel Sierra Ortega the standout performer for the visitors despite the defeat, and the result sets up a meeting with Nottingham Forest on 12 August. Sevilla led through Sierra Ortega’s sixteenth-minute opener, but Leverkusen’s response after the interval proved decisive in a game of two distinct halves.

The turning point arrived in the second half, when Patrik Schick levelled on sixty-six minutes from Miguel Gutiérrez’s assist, then struck again unmarked on seventy-nine minutes to complete the turnaround. Sevilla’s early control was undermined by a flurry of yellow cards, with Lucien Agoumé, Arouna Sangante and a third unnamed booking all arriving before the hour, while Leverkusen’s Ezequiel Fernández and Robert Andrich also went into the book as the tempo rose.

On the numbers, possession was dead level at fifty per cent each, but Leverkusen’s three corners to Sevilla’s one reflected their greater attacking intent after the break, and they outplayed the visitors on efficiency despite Sevilla’s bright start. Sierra Ortega earned a 9.44 rating as a midfielder with his goal, the clear standout in a losing cause. With no prediction from CheckLive’s model, the result stands on its own merits, and the friendly concludes with Leverkusen preparing for Nottingham Forest.
