Mergim Berisha (10’), Lukas Nmecha (62’ pen.), Nico Schlotterbeck (74’) and Florian Krüger (79’) with his first touch after coming off the bench in Wiesbaden scored for the superior but often ineffective European Championship runners-up late-on with the new Leverkusen player Grill going the full distance.
