The football magazine kicker described the match on 21 April 1984 in front of 9,500 spectators as follows:
Game decided inside a minute
Two goals from Herbert Waas after a good ten weeks out injured, a decent performance from Wolfgang Patzke after an even longer lay-off and a penalty save from Rüdiger Vollborn were the pleasing circumstances surrounding Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 2-0 win over FC Kaiserslautern, with which the Werkself finally eliminated a potential rival for a UEFA Cup spot.
Although Leverkusen were able to send out their preferred first XI for the first time that season, not everything went according to plan, especially as Kaiserslautern had a goalkeeper in Ronnie Hellström who consistently frustrated the opposition strikers with his saves.
The game was then decided inside a minute, as Waas slotted home straight after Eilenfeldt's missed penalty to make it 2-0, after Hellström had only been able to palm away a shot from Cha, who had a brilliant game but was unlucky with his finishing.
Kaiserslautern turned up the pressure after going behind, with Brehme in particular standing out, but the best they could manage was a superb shot by Hübner that hit the post.
Vöge in particular failed to improve on the result for Leverkusen from counter-attacks towards the end of the game.
When coach Dettmar Cramer was asked about the Werkself's UEFA Cup dreams after the game, he replied: "We have a good chance, why shouldn't we be able to take it?"
Ultimately, they would finish the season in seventh place, but it was a Bayer 04 team’s first-ever sniff of a UEFA Cup spot, which would only be achieved for the first time under the stewardship of coach Erich Ribbeck in 1986.
Francoaldo Sena de Souza, known as Franca, was born on 2 March 1976 in Codó in north-eastern Brazil and is one of the best-known Brazilian football players of the late 1990s and early 2000s. His exceptional talent became apparent early on. He began his career at smaller Brazilian clubs before moving to the tradition-steeped São Paulo FC in 1996. There, Franca quickly developed into one of the most dangerous strikers in the league. His technique, goal-scoring instinct and agility delighted fans and pundits alike, and he scored numerous goals for the club over the years.

There, Lars and Sven became German champions with the U17s, skipped the Lion's U19s and were directly part of the 1860 Munich first and second team squads.

Bayer 04 had their backs to the wall after a 3-1 defeat in a rearranged match at FC Kaiserslautern on 17 March 1981. After a throw-in, which the linesman clearly indicated in favour of the Werkself, but which the Lauter team quickly took and the weak referee did not intervene, a dubious penalty was awarded. Lauter took advantage of this to make it 2-1 in the 84th minute. Finally, a shot by the home side, which did not cross the line, made it 3-1 and Bayer 04 had to go home from Betzenberg without any points.

It was 4 March 1951 and Bayer 04 were five points ahead going into the decisive home game against second-placed SSV Wuppertal, who would merge with TSG Vohwinkel 80 to form Wuppertaler SV three years later. Bayer 04 press officer Heinz Nelles predicted a big matchday at the sports ground at the Stadtpark and recommends Bayer 04 fans to buy their tickets in advance from the usual ticket outlets, especially from Peter Haas at the Trinkhalle Rathaus. After a four-week injury lay-off, centre-forward Emil ‘Bubi’ Becks will be back for the first time. And when the gates to the Stadtpark are opened on Sunday, the spectators stream into the stadium. The windows of the houses on the neighbouring Walter-Nernst-Straße are also packed.
