Just 25 seconds into the match, Nathan Tella opened the scoring for Leverkusen.

The home crowd was further silenced in the 8th minute when Patrik Schick doubled Leverkusen's lead, finishing a well-executed counter-attack that left Dortmund's defense exposed.
Dortmund responded valiantly, and in the 12th minute, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens scored with a brilliant solo effort, reigniting hope for the hosts.
