The thoroughly successful first double matchday (5-2 against Holstein Kiel, 9-0 against FC Schalke 04) Was followed by less successful clashes on Tuesday night. The early evening brought a 5-2 defeat against VfL Bochum.
Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr started the evening with a one-vs-one on PlayStation 5 – and he conceded a goal in added time from a free kick to draw 2-2. Last week's previously impressive performance by Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae was not repeated. He was on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline on Xbox Series S/X. The doubles match against the club from Castroper Straße ended all square at 1-1.
The matches against Hannover 96 followed later on Tuesday night. The team from Lower Saxony have started the new season as strongly as the Black and Reds. ‘MARC_LDW23’ did not give anything away to his Hannover 96 rival Riad ‘H96_RIAD’ Fazlija as he clocked up a convincing 3-0 victory.
‘B04_DUBZJE’ on Xbox lost 2-1 to his opponent Jannik ‘H96_JANNIK’ Berg. A goalless draw in the doubles produced a final result of 4-4.
And the ‘North German championship’ continues for the #B04eSports players: Next Tuesday, 23 November, the opponents are VfL Wolfsburg (from 18.00 CET) and FC St. Pauli (from 20.00 CET). Both North German clubs are waiting for their chance behind league leaders Leverkusen with four (Wolfsburg) and three (St. Pauli) points less.

A new team, a new environment, a new challenge—and yet one thing remains the same for Afonso Moreira: his attitude. Total dedication, discipline, and the drive to improve every day have defined the Portuguese player since his early days at Sporting CP. “Even back then, I realized I had to work hard to achieve my goals,” said the 21-year-old. His parents also instilled those values in him from a young age. Values that have driven him ever since, accompanied him to France when he signed for Lyon, and now also form the foundation for his new chapter at Bayer 04. At a media session, the lightning-fast winger spoke about his values, as well as his new teammates, the new coach, and his targets at the club.
