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.
