VIDEO: Hložek’s long-range shot from a direct kick ended on the bar, his teammate celebrated the goal

With a direct kick into the net of Slavia, he closed his stay in Sparta, on Thursday he almost scored for the first time from a standard situation in Germany. He hit the bar and then a teammate helped the ball into the net.

Bayer relied solely on honest defending in the Europa League match against Ferencváros, after all, they could afford to. They were already ahead from the ninth minute when Karim Demirbay scored.

After that, he let the Hungarian opponents play, but they didn’t get any big chances. Even in the second half, the pace of the game was slow, with the crowd being brought up from their seats only in the 86th minute.

Adam Hložek hit the bar with a great direct kick, followed by Edmond Tapsoba who headed the ball into the empty net.

The Czech national player did not come into the game until the 71st minute. His shot from a direct kick could have been decisive, as Ferencváros pressed at the very end and missed one big chance.

Leverkusen’s other Czech striker Patrik Schick made a gradual return from injury, coming on in the 89th minute.

The head coach has preferred Iranian international Sardar Azmoun in recent weeks.

As Hložek hit the bar, he was not credited with an assist. His season tally remains at three goals and five assists, but the spectacular direct kick could be a boost for his confidence and a reason for more chances in the starting line-up.
