But there was a thrilling finish: First, Bochum equalised (79') and then the Black and Reds restored their lead (85'). The VfL eSports players then levelled on 89 minutes and the hard-fought game ended all square at 2-2.
In the following 1 vs 1 between Landwehr and Siep, the Leverkusen player clocked up an emphatic 6-1 win. Bochum's Springer then secured a narrow 3-2 win in the third game against Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik. That meant matchday three ended in a draw.
