Leverkusen had more than a bit of luck. It's unbelievable how they performed against Qarabeg in both the first game and the second leg. They were already two goals down in the first game and were lucky to equalize. The same in the second leg. Two goals down again and still won by good luck thanks to two late goals from Schick in injury time. That was no mean feat against a second-rate opponent. Xabi and his team must improve in the next round, otherwise the competition will soon be over for Leverkusen.
