Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
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.
Heiko Scholz was born on 7 January 1966 in Görlitz. His first club as a youth player was Dynamo Görlitz. From there, he moved up to the sports school in Dresden and played in the youth teams at SG Dynamo Dresden from 1978-1982. Not considered good enough, Scholle, as he was nicknamed, had to leave the sports school to play his last two youth years at ISG Hagenwerder. Via BSG Chemie Leipzig and 1.FC Lokomotive Leipzig, who Heiko won the DDR Pokal with in 1987 and he also reached the European Cup Winners' Cup final (a 1-0 defeat against Ajax), his path finally led him back to his favourite club, Dynamo Dresden. For one million Deutschmarks, the highest transfer fee ever paid for a player in the former GDR, he moved from Lok Leipzig to the capital of Saxony in 1990.

Stefan Kießling was born on 25 January 1984 in Lichtenfels, Franconia. Even as a young boy, he spent countless hours on the football pitches of his home town, chasing after the ball and dreaming of playing football. His parents supported him, but they bring him up in a down-to-earth manner - hard work, honesty and modesty are values that characterise him from an early age. His talent became apparent early on, but his ambition was even more striking. Kießling always wants to improve, wants to give more than others.

It is Friday, 31 January 1986, the derby in Cologne is coming up and we're full of confidence after the home win against Hamburg SV a week earlier, having turned a 2-0 deficit at the break into a 3-2 victory. In particular, the Greek amateur player Minas Hantzidis, who came on as a half-time substitute, turned the game around. Two goals from Bum-kun Cha and a penalty from Christian Schreier gave us two important points in the battle for a UEFA Cup place. We are one point behind the North Germans in fifth place in the table, six points ahead of our neighbours from Cologne.
