Keanu Staude scored the opening goal for Kickers Offenbach, but Bayer 04 Leverkusen fought back to win 3-1 in this Club Friendly, with the Offenbach midfielder named the standout player on the day. The German lower-league side took a surprise tenth-minute lead through Staude, yet Leverkusen’s superior quality soon told as Christian Kofane equalised shortly before half-time.

The turning point arrived early in the second half when Jonas Hofmann put Leverkusen ahead in the 49th minute, shifting the momentum decisively. Afonso Moreira’s 81st-minute strike then sealed the win, while Lucas Vázquez received a yellow card for the visitors in a game that saw no red cards or VAR interventions.
