Win for Hradecky in the Nations League
Lukas Hradecky and Finland remain unbeaten in the UEFA Nations League (League C, Group 2). Finland beat Estonia 1-0 on Tuesday night.
As in the 1-0 victory over Hungary on Saturday, the 28-year-old was again in goal for the full 90 minutes although his jaw operation meant he missed almost all of the pre-season and he has yet to make an appearance for the Werkself – a thoroughly positive signal for the coming weeks.
The internationals were less of a success for his team-mates: Charles Aránguiz and Chile drew 0-0 in a friendly against South Korea – the Werkself number 20 played for the first 45 minutes in his 66th international for La Roja. World Cup runner-up Tin Jedvaj (Croatia; League B, Group 3) and Aleksandar Dragovic (Austria; League B, Group 3) did not appear for their teams in the Nations League. Croatia suffered a setback with a 6-0 away defeat to Spain and Austria lost 1-0 to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
All four players are expected to return to Leverkusen tomorrow to join in with the build-up to the Bundesliga game against Bayern Munich on Saturday (15.30 CET).

Werkself Review #B04FCB: 'Played with structure, passion and power'
After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
