"Our longstanding partnership with EVL lives off great trust and reliability," said Felix Duden, CEO of TecArena Plus GmbH, the wholly owned subsidiary of Bayer 04 Fußball GmbH responsible for the technical care of the club's properties. "Supply security has absolute priority for Bayer 04 in order to keep the operation running. We therefore believe that the maintenance of our energy systems will continue to be in good hands with EVL in the future. At the same time, we want to make the energy supply in the stadium and all other sites more efficient and environmentally friendly," continued Duden.

EVL has been providing the Bundesliga club with electricity, district heating and water for several decades as well as handling energy-related services. "The cooperation with Bayer 04 as one of our key clients is more than just a business relationship: as a local company, it means a lot to us to work for our club and make the best contribution we can to the smooth running of the BayArena," said Thomas Eimermacher, commercial manager of EVL.

Werkself move up to fourth place after 4-1 win against RB Leipzig

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
