Fifth win: Leverkusen in the round of 16 with Schick goal
Fifth game, fifth win: Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen are through to the last 16 of the Europa League and are the only team to have won all their games. With a 2:0 (1:0) win at Swedish cup winners BK Häcken, coach Xabi Alonso's soccer team, with eight changes to the B team, also secured group victory ahead of time. Leverkusen are therefore through to the round of 16 and avoid the detour via the play-offs against a team relegated from the Champions League. After Victor Boniface made it 1-0 (14'), long-injured goalscorer Patrik Schick added his first goal in 284 days (74').
Bayer Leverkusen's dominance in the Europa League continued with a 2:0 victory over BK Häcken, securing their spot in the round of 16. Patrik Schick, who had been out for a long time, scored his first goal in 284 days during this match, contributing to Soccer Leverkusen's fifth win in the Europa League.
