The duo of Kai ‘DETO’ Wollin and Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr started the long eSports evening. In a 2 v 2 game against FCSP the 90 virtual minutes ended in a 1-1 draw. The overall score in the clash with St. Pauli was 4-4.
For the 2 v 2 against HSV, Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ De Cae played alongside Landwehr. Leverkusen took the lead on four minutes with a strike from the virtual Samed Onur but Hamburg hit back on 90 minutes. That meant this 2 v 2 game ended all square at 1-1. The overall win was secured as Landwehr and De Cae had already picked up four points in the 1 v 1 games against HSV.
The next opponents on the night were VfL Bochum. The club from the Ruhr Valley are runaway leaders in the North-West division – and they demonstrated their strength in the 1 v 1 game on PlayStation 4. Landwehr, previously unbeaten in 1 v 1 matches since joining Bayer 04, suffered a heavy 7-1 defeat against Bochum’s Cihan ‘CIHAN_OFFICIAL’ Yasarlar.
#B04eSports player ‘B04_DUBZJE’ conceded late-on in the 1 v 1 on Xbox against Ali ‘PREDATORFIFA’ Oskoui Rad and drew 1-1. As the 2 v 2 with ‘DETO’ and ‘MARC_LDW23’ produced a 2-2 draw, matchday 19 ended with an overall 5-2 defeat against Bochum.
The last opponents of the evening were FC Schalke 04. In the 1 v 1 on PlayStation 4, ‘DETO’ narrowly lost 2-1 in the opener against the Schalke player Joe ‘JH7’ Hellmann. The same scoreline, albeit in favour of the Black and Reds, was achieved by ‘B04_DUBZJE’ in the game against S04 eSports player Julius ‘JULI’ Kühle on Xbox. That meant the decider was the final 2 v 2 game. And how else could the result have been on this long Tuesday evening other than a draw in the fourth 2 v 2 encounter: 1-1 after 90 virtual minutes against the Royal Blues.
The #B04eSports players are in action again next Tuesday, 23 February. Matchday 21 starts at 18.00 CET with the games against bottom-of-the-table Eintracht Braunschweig. The opponents at 20.00 CET are FC Köln. The team from Cologne are currently third in the table and Leverkusen remain in sixth place.
A simple approach to sport with games, fun and a highlight at the end: Bayer 04 organised a very special training session for 40 participants aged between six and 27 in cooperation with the Football Association of the Middle Rhine (FVM). At the day of action for women and girls with disabilities at the Kurtekotten Performance Centre, many of the participants gained their first experience of football.

Less than a year ago, Kerim Alajbegovic moved from the Bayer 04 U19s to Austrian top-flight club FC Red Bull Salzburg. The forward’s development since then has been impressive. In 36 matches, including in the UEFA Europa League, the 18-year-old has scored 14 goals. In the summer, Alajbegovic, now a Bosnia international, will return to Leverkusen - and thus not only achieve the next milestone still early in his career, but also enrich the Werkself squad with his footballing versatility and determination.
