#B04eSports: Too many goals conceded on matchdays 9 and 10

Mixed feelings on the fifth double matchday in the VBL Club Championship for the Bayer 04 eSports players: A 7-1 defeat against Werder Bremen was followed by a 5-2 win against Hansa Rostock.

In a change from the usual VBL format, the first game of the evening was played on Xbox Series S/X instead of PlayStation 5. Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae faced Bremen’s Ali ‘PREDATORFIFA’ Oskoui Rad – and he ended up losing 3-1 after 90 virtual minutes. The Black and Reds remained pointless after the following one-on-one match on PS5: Marc ‘MARC_LDW23’ Landwehr suffered a narrow 1-0 loss against Werder eSports player Max ‘DIVINERS’ Gröne.

Bayer 04 only rediscovered their defensive strength in the two-vs-two with Paul ‘B04_PAUL’ Degner playing alongside Landwehr. However, as no goals were scored, the doubles match ended goalless. "Of course, we hoped for more but now it's about beating Rostock," was the half-time assessment of Furkan ‘FURKY’ Kayacik, who was again in action as presenter and commentator on the live stream on the club’s Twitch channel Twitch.

success against newcomers

The Leverkusen eSports players met Hansa Rostock for the first time later in the evening. The second division club in reality, put their team forward in the virtual top-flight for the first time this season in the VBL CC. The individual match on Xbox ended in a 3-3 draw. The following one-on-one on PlayStation saw Landwehr win for the Black and Reds and the two-vs-two brought the second draw of the night – the final score 2-2.

Leverkusen conceded nine goals against Bremen and Rostock. By comparison, only 19 were conceded in the previous eight matchdays – the least of all clubs in the North West division up to that point. That means the Werkself have now slipped down to sixth place but de Cae and Co. are still in a position to qualify for the Club Championship play-offs at the end of the season.

no game, then the Derby

The first ten matchdays in the VBL Club Championship have been completed. There are no games next week and that is followed by the virtual derby against FC Köln. The first match against the Cologne team is on Tuesday, 21 December at 18.00 CET. The #B04eSports players only have one opponent on the night due to the odd number of clubs in each division. The competition continues in the New Year on 11 January.

It is almost two years since Bayer 04 new signing Abdoulaye Faye first stepped foot into the BayArena as a player for the Swedish club BK Häcken in the opening match in the 2023/24 Europa League campaign. A day before his nineteenth birthday, the central defender did not play in the 4-0 win for the Werkself but it was "an incredible night" for him on 21 September 2023 as he explained in his first interview on bayer04.de. "I watched the players and saw the fans. I liked it." It was also the first European night early on in his career. He only joined the then champions of Sweden in the cold north of Europe from his home in Senegal a few weeks before that special moment. Bayer04.de profiles our new defender.
