After a goalless first half with virtually no chances for either team, Leverkusen took advantage of Atlético stretching themselves in the final stretch of the match to find an imbalance.
Thus, the Germans sentenced the match with goals from Robert Andrich, in the 84th minute, and Moussa Diaby, at 87′.
After these results, Brugge, the Spanish team’s next rival, surprisingly leads group B with a full 6 points, followed by Bayer and Atlético with 3, leaving Porto in last place, without scoring.
With only one shot between the posts for each team, it is not surprising that the result at half-time was still blank.
In the second stage, the cast led by Diego Simeone turned towards the opposing field, but that caused him to leave spaces in defense. This context was used by the locals, who gradually approached to open the scoring.
A great move down the right by Dutchman Jeremie Frimpong ended Andrich’s shot into the back of the net (84′) for 1-0.
Without time for the ‘mattress’ reaction, Leverkusen dealt the final blow: Frimpong again overflowed on the right and gave up Diaby so that the young French striker sentenced the match (87′).
