In the very first round of the Bundesliga, two teams who want to fight for the top positions clashed. Borussia Dortmund welcomed Bayer Leverkusen to their sanctuary. Both Patrik Schick and Adam Hložek got a taste of the stormy atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park.
It was a great spectacle, but it only produced one goal. Borussia Dortmund welcomed Bayer Leverkusen to their home ground and there was plenty to watch. Right from the start of the game we saw Patrik Schick in action. Adam Hložek started the match among the substitutes.
The home side entered the game at a tremendous pace. They literally tormented their opponents with great pressing. As early as the 10th minute, Westphalia’s captain Marco Reus sent the ball into the net from the goal line after a great save by Lukas Hradecky.
Leverkusen hardly got anything going in the first half. That’s why Adam Hložek went into action right at the start of the second half and was literally thrown into the water. He had never played in front of such a crowd and in such an atmosphere. Moreover, in a match at such a pace.
However, Hložek looked calm and composed. He didn’t impress, but he didn’t disappoint either. He hardly fumbled any passes. Once, with his pass, he started an action that almost ended in a goal. For his first game against such a quality opponent, he didn’t play badly. He was more visible than Karim Bellarabi, whom he replaced.
Schick had several chances in the game. He sent a shot from outside the box just wide of the goal, but the two big chances he had in the sixteen were saved by Gregor Kobel.
Leverkusen could have taken the points from Dortmund, but the great goalkeeper Kobel was against it. Bayer will also have to deal with a problem in goal. Goalkeeper Hradecky has been sent off.
