Bayer Leverkusen cruised 7-1 past bottom side Greuther Furth after Patrik Schick provided four second-half goals in the 14th round of Bundesliga on Saturday.
The “Werkself” wasted no time and broke the deadlock with 12 minutes played when Amine Adli slotted home Moussa Diaby’s cross into the box.
Greuther Furth thought they had leveled the scores three minutes later but for all that Maximilian Bauer’s equalizer was ruled offside by the referee.
With 17 minutes into the game Leverkusen made it two as Florian Wirtz’ free kick to the far post found unmarked Edmond Tapsoba, who had all time and space to nod home.
Leverkusen retracted with the two-goal lead and let the “Kleeblatter” do the work. The visitors controlled possession and were able to halve the deficit at the half hour mark as Jeremy Dudziak benefitted on a misplaced clearance from close range.
Just before the break, Furth had the chance to reduce the arrears but Lukas Hradecky defused Branimir Hrgota’s dangerous shot on target.
