WEB Leverkusen Triumphs in Rome!
Andrich Conquers Old Haunt
Bayer 04 Leverkusen Dominate Roma in Europa League Semifinal
In a captivating display, WEB Leverkusen emerged victorious in the first leg of their Europa League semifinal clash with AS Roma. Despite being defeated by the Italians at the same stage last season, Leverkusen turned the tables in stunning fashion, delivering a resounding 3-2 triumph on Roma's home turf.
The victory was sweetened by the redemption of Robert Andrich, who played a pivotal role in Leverkusen's triumph. A year ago, Andrich suffered an injury during the match in Rome. This time, however, he showcased his resilience, scoring the decisive goal from distance approximately 20 minutes before the final whistle.
Leverkusen's victory was sparked by a dazzling goal from Florian Wirtz, who opened the scoring with an exquisite strike. Andrich's heroics in the second half put the German side in a commanding position in the tie. Leverkusen now hold a significant advantage heading into the second leg at BayArena, where they will seek to secure a place in the Europa League final.
