SVWW lose 0:4 to Leverkusen: Playoff of Poor Timing

Wiesbaden grumbles over defeat against Leverkusen: The SVWW playoff of poor timing

SV Wehen Wiesbaden showed a good performance against Bayer Leverkusen in the first half but received two goals at the worst possible moments. Niklas May lamented: "We received the first two goals at the worst possible moment."

Scherning: "We did excellently for 42 minutes"

The third-division side presented itself well and allowed little against the Bundesliga side. Coach Daniel Scherning praised: "We did excellently for 42 minutes." The coach changed his team on six positions compared to the embarrassing 0:4 against Würzburg. Noah Brdar stood in goal, which surprised, as Florian Stritzel had previously saved a penalty against Bayern Munich.

Leverkusen dominates after leading

The revamped squad executed their plan: compact block and physical play. However, Leverkusen broke the curse in the 43rd minute through Patrik Schick. Scherning described the halftime team talk: "We tried to keep the belief alive in the second half." After the 0:2 immediately after halftime, the game was decided. Leverkusen added two goals, while the home team accepted their fate.

SVWW hopes for turnaround in the third division

With 0:4, SVWW had to accept defeat. Fabian Greilinger emphasized: "They play at the top of the Bundesliga." The record in the third division after two games: zero points, 1:7 goals, last place in the table. Scherning wants to achieve the turnaround and faces Rot-Weiss Essen next Saturday. Brdar will likely remain on the bench.
