Anybody who follows the VBL will be well aware of the defensive strength of Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr. The Leverkusen PlayStation pro kept a clean sheet in the 1v1 against Hannover's Riad ‘H96_RIAD’ Fazlija – and he was able to emerge with a 1-0 victory thanks to his strike late on. The first three points of the evening were secured.
In the following 1v1 on Xbox, #B04eSports player Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae demonstrated his qualities. He clocked up a convincing 5-2 win against 96 pro Jannik ‘H96_JANNIK’ Berg. As the following 2v2 for Landwehr and Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner ended goalless, with Leverkusen again proving their quality in defence, the match ended in a clear 7-1 victory over the team top of the league.
The later games were against VfL Wolfsburg who are below the Black and Reds in the VBL table. Landwehr ground out a goalless draw in the PlayStation 1v1 against the Wolves player Khalid ‘KHALIDGRL03’ Gürel. The next two matches ended in narrow defeats: De Cae lost 1-0 on Xbox, the 2v2 finished with a 2-1 defeat.
The #B04eSports team remain eighth after matchdays 17 and 18 with the gap to the targeted top six just three points. The Black and Reds are in action next Tuesday evening, 8 February, with the fixtures against FC St Pauli (18.00 CET) plus Hamburg SV (20.00 CET). These games will also be streamed on the club’s Bayer 04 Twitch channel.
