Bayer Leverkusen claimed a 4-0 Bundesliga win over Union Berlin at BayArena, scoring inside the opening minute and finishing with four different names on the scoresheet. The hosts controlled the match from the first whistle and left Union without a shot on target.
Match Summary
The contest was barely under way when Ignacio Ezequiel Agustín Fernández Carballo finished a move created by Miguel Gutiérrez. Union Berlin were already chasing, and Felix Uduokhai went into the book four minutes in as the visitors tried to slow the early surge.
Leverkusen kept the ball and kept arriving in dangerous areas. Facundo Medina made it two before the game was 30 minutes old, Gutiérrez the provider this time, and the home side went into the interval two goals clear. Union offered little before the break.
The second half opened the same way. Zeno Van Den Bosch was cautioned just after the restart, and Patrik Schick added a third in the 48th minute from a Jarell Quansah assist. Gutiérrez was booked just after the hour before Ibrahim Maza scored the fourth in the 66th minute, Schick turning provider. Maza later saw yellow as Leverkusen closed the game out.
