Leverkusen Keeps Victory Record After Conquering Hacken
Bayer Leverkusen took home three points at the headquarters of BK Hacken, Nya Ullevi Stadium, in the fifth week of Group H of the Europa League 2023/2024, Friday, December 1, 2023, early morning WIB.
Xabi Alonso's team played very effectively in a match that was actually tight.
Leverkusen are only narrowly superior in possession of the ball, which is 54 percent. Their chances were less than the hosts, with only 10 attempts with five of them on target.
It's just that, Hacken, who packed 11 chances with six of them pointing into the net, couldn't score a goal at all.
It's different with Leverkusen. Five of his directed shots were two goals.
