The otherwise calm Leverkusen FIFA player clenched his fist in victory: After a goalless draw in the first leg of the quarter-finals, ‘DETO’ came out on top in the return match with an impressive 5-0 victory over Stuttgart’s 18-year-old Lukas ‘LUKAS_1004’ Seiler. “A couple of things went right in the second match. I need to up my game even more in the next round to go through to the final,” said the 31-year-old.
The experienced PlayStation 4 player is in the semi-finals on Sunday, 28 June, at 12.05 CET (live on Free-TV at ProSieben Maxx) – this is also the day for the final. The opponent would be Mohammed ‘MOAUBA’ Harkous or Eleftherios ‘LEFTI_I’ Ilias. “Hats off for the performances to date in the Grand Final,” said Florian Dederichs, head of Internationalisation & eSports at Bayer 04 in praising the #B04eSports player.
‘DETO’ secured a 2-1 win in the Round of 16 game against Fürth player Fabio ‘FIFABIO97’ Sabbagh. The Leverkusen Xbox player Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ went out at the group stage yesterday.
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.
