Bayer 04 3:2 PSV - U19s win second Youth League match

Bayer 04 beat PSV Eindhoven 3-2 on matchday two to clock up the next three points in the UCL Youth League 2025/26. In front of just under 500 spectators at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium, the visitors from the Netherlands led at half-time, but the Werkself turned the game round in the second 45. That makes it two wins on the bounce after the victory in Copenhagen.

"Great start": Brok ahead of maiden outing in Youth League opener in Copenhagen

Leverkusen's 2025/26 UEFA Youth League opener at FC Copenhagen also marks Kevin Brok's first game as the Bayer 04 U19 head coach. And the Dutchman has a lot planned for the match in Denmark on Thursday, 18 September (kick-off: 13:45 pm at Tingbjerg Idrætspark/livestream on bayer04.de and on the Bayer 04 app), despite the short preparation time with his new team. He is also relying on the close dialogue with colleagues in Bayer 04's youth academy.

After Runge moves up to first team coaching staff: Brok becomes U19 head coach, Adam takes over U17s

The successor to Sergi Runge as head coach of the Bayer 04 U19 team has been decided. Following the Spaniard's appointment to Kasper Hjulmand's first team coaching staff, the current U17 head coach Kevin Brok (photo) will be responsible for the U19s until the end of the season. As a result, Benjamin Adam will also move up a year and will now coach the U17s instead of the U16s, also until the end of the season. The structure of the coaching and support staff will remain unchanged.
