VIDEO: Schick declined a penalty, but his teammate also missed. Porto made sure of a quick goal after Leverkusen defence’s recklessness

Leverkusen welcomed Porto to their home ground on Wednesday evening. The German side were looking to build on the weekend’s league win, which was only their third competitive win of the season. However, the start of the match was not at all successful. They scored a quick goal and conceded a penalty.

Well, that didn’t go well. Again. Even Xabi Alonso can’t do everything. Although Leverkusen beat Schalke 4-0 on the weekend after a great performance, they faced an opponent in better form and with a slightly better mentality on Wednesday.

Porto came to Germany to pick up points and build on their week-old win against the same opponent. And they got off to a great start. After just six minutes, they took the lead when Bayer’s defence fell absolutely asleep.

Goalkeeper Diogo Costa found Galen with a long kick on the left wing, who had already dealt with the situation perfectly. Even the onrushing defenders couldn’t stop him.

Then, in the 16th minute, Leverkusen were awarded a penalty. As in the previous game, when Patrik Schick missed it, Costa also saved his teammate Kerem Demirbay.

Leverkusen’s bad luck continued. In the 36th minute, the German side finally got the ball into the net, even after a rebound from Schick. However, the goal was disallowed due to the hand of the Czech striker, who was, among other things, offside.
