Youngest Leverkusen player
Kai Havertz initiated the Bayer victory with a double pack (28th, 33rd), followed by Mitchell Weiser (61.) and Kerem Demirbay (78.) all right. Baumgartlinger was in the game from the 71st minute, the Aleksandar Dragovic only witnessed from the bank. The 17 year old Florian Wirtz became the youngest debutant in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga history. For the home side, where ÖFB-U21 team players Marco Friedl played through in the defense was the interim equalization of Theodor Gebre Selassie (30.) too little. Bremen already received the seventh home defeat en suite.
