Overview of the match Schalke - Bayer:
In the highly anticipated Bundesliga match between Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen, fans were disappointed as Leverkusen scored an easy 3-0 win at the VELTINS-Arena. In the first half, both teams struggled to find the back of the goal despite strong efforts from both sides. However, the first big event came in the 39th minute when Leverkusen's E. Palacios received a yellow card for a reckless challenge. The second half began with a substitution for Schalke 04: D. Drexler was replaced by E. Balanta. But Leverkusen quickly took matters into their own hands: in the 50th minute, J. Frimpong scored a goal. Schalke tried to fight back, but the momentum was not on their side.
Yellow cards for J. Matriciani and E. Balanta in the 51st and 56th minutes, respectively, further exacerbated their troubles.

Terodde in the 61st minute, T. Krauss for T. Scark in the 71st minute and R. Zalazar for T. Mora in the 82nd minute. Meanwhile, Leverkusen have also made a number of changes to their squad. However, the replacement of S. Azmun in the 66th minute turned out to be decisive for Leverkusen. The Iranian striker scored the third and final goal of the match in the 90th minute, securing a comfortable victory for his team. In the end, it was a convincing victory for Bayer Leverkusen, who were clearly the best team throughout the match. Schalke 04 will need to improve their game if they want to come out on top in future meetings.
