Feyenoord then tried to find an equalizer, but Leverkusen's solid defense made it difficult for the visitors to find a good opportunity.
In the 29th minute, Leverkusen's offense was on the rise again. Frimpong sent a precise diagonal pass from the right, and Grimaldo followed up at the back post to make it 2-0. 6 minutes later, Wiltz was at it again, receiving a pass from Frimpong on the counterattack, and then fired in a shot from the back of the penalty area to complete the double, and make the score 3-0 at the same time.
Near the end of the first half, Leverkusen added another goal. A set piece from the left was driven to the back of the box and Tapsoba's header, although Werrenroit's save had been quite good, the ball rolled in helplessly to make it 4-0.
In the second half of the game, both sides failed to rewrite the score. Feyenoord tried to attack many times, but Leverkusen's defense system was always solid and didn't give the opponent too many chances. In the end, Leverkusen ended the match with a big win, and laid a good start for the new season of Champions League.
