Bayer survived for the second time in seven days against Qarabag and move into the top eight of the Europa League.
Our team of Marko Janković and Marko Vešović led 2:0 against the leaders of the Bundesliga in Leverkusen, just like in the first match of the round of XNUMX in Baku, but in the end had to accept a painful elimination.
"Pharmaceutics" turned things around in the last twenty minutes with a player more, and the hero of the team led by Ćabi Alonso was Patrik Šik - first he equalized at 93:2 in the 2rd, and then in the 97th he crowned the dominance of the hosts for a triumph.
Karabag took the lead in the 58th minute through Zubir, and in the 67th, Vešović was the assistant when Žuninja doubled the lead.
A few minutes earlier, the Azerbaijani team was left with ten men, and Bayer showed that the undefeated series that has been going on since the beginning of the season is not a coincidence.
Jeremy Frimpong reduced and announced a hellish finish in which Bayer practically "camped" in and around the guests' penalty area.
