The German side had to wait until the extra time to tie and win the match.

Bayer Leverkusen won against Qarabag 3-2 at BayArena, but Alonso’s side had to suffer and wait until the extra time of the clash when Patrik Schick became the hero with his 2 goals that secured the victory and Bayer’s advancement to the next phase of the tournament after the 1st leg finished 2-2.

After we saw no goals in the 1st half, Abdellah Zoubir headed the ball into Leverkusen’s net in the 55th minute after Leandro Andrade’s assist and shocked the home fans at the stadium.

However, Qarabag remain with 10 players on the pitch in the 65th minute when after a VAR review, Elvin Cafarquliyev received a red card for stopping dangerous attack of the home side.

Despite being with 10 men on the pitch, the away side shocked again the Bundesliga leader when Juninho scored in the 67th minute to double the away club lead at BayArena.

Jeremie Frimpong returned the hopes of Bayer when he scored in the 72nd after a fantastic cross from Alejandro Grimaldo to make Leverkusen’s trail only a single goal.

Patrik Schick tied the clash in the 93rd minute, and Xabi Alonso’s side survived a huge shock and humiliation.

Patrik Schick was the big hero as he scored his 2nd goal in the game in the 97th minute, and with his 5th goal in 5 games in the Europa League, he sent his team to the ¼ finals of the Europa League.
