"Last Sunday, the above teams met for the scheduled championship match at the Sportplatz an der Dhünn. The two teams present themselves to the referee punctually at 4 o'clock. Leverkusen, with a new line-up, played against the wind at the start. The Black and Reds besieged the opposition goal. The goalkeeper and defenders had a hard job on their hands but and again and again skilfully managed to bring the ball away from the danger area in front of goal. Urbach gradually picked up. But their powerful attacks broke down against the solid Leverkusen defence with Bartsch today producing an outstanding performance. It was goalless when the two sides changed ends.
After the first half, the Black and Reds took full control but were unable to make the breakthrough initially. Then – with 26 minutes to play Bönnen received a good pass but he was fouled. The ensuing penalty was easily converted. Urbach tried with all their might to draw level. Their outside left again and again took the attack forwards. With ten minutes left, Koll handled the ball in a goalmouth melee. Penalty. The spectators were highly excited and the heavy rain did not drive them from the pitch. But the penalty was fired over. 'A new penalty!' Decided the referee because there was encroachment in the penalty area. The crowd grew even more excited. The shot comes in but Nagelschmidt saves to thundering applause. Shortly after that, the referee ends the game. It was a battle with the better team winning."
This match report appeared in the newspaper on 27 September 1919, almost a week after the match.
Minas Hantzidis was born on 4 July 1966 in Kettwig, near Essen, and he grew up in Germany. He developed a passion for football at a young age and, whilst still a youth player, moved from Wuppertaler SV to Bayer 04. The attacking and goal-scoring midfielder then made a name for himself in his first senior season at Bayer 04. In the reserve team, he scored goal after goal in the first half of the season, soon began training with the first team and was brought on as a substitute for the first time by manager Erich Ribbeck on 22 November 1985 in a home match against Bayern Munich.

Sascha was born on 3 July 1986 in Leverkusen. He is the son of former Bundesliga 2 player Manfred Dum, who mainly scored goals for Union Solingen but also played for FC Saarbrücken, SC Freiburg and Wuppertaler SV. Sascha started playing for the youth teams at HSV Langenfeld at an early age. There, he caught the eye of scouts from Bayer 04 and joined the club at a young age. Following a growth spurt in the U15 team, which forced him to take a nine-month break, the left-footed player finally had the ideal conditions to establish himself in the Bayer 04 youth ranks. Even as an U17 player, he made the leap into the U19 team. Blessed with immense pace, Sascha primarily played in attacking midfield. Not the most technically gifted, but possessing a powerful shot, he found himself training with the first team in the summer of 2005 alongside Gonzalo Castro, while he was still a U19 player.
