Chapter 96: Europa League Round of 32, Second Leg II

*Fweeeeeeeee*

The referee blew his whistle to signify the Europa League's round of 32 between Porto and Bayer Leverkusen's second-leg kickoff.

The Leverkusen team kicked off with Volland sending the ball to Aranguiz in the Leverkusen half and Aranguiz sent the ball to Moussa Diaby on the left wing.

Moussa Diaby tried to make a run inside the Porto's half but was quickly blocked by Wilson Manafa and he quickly sent the ball back, not wanting to lose the ball.

The first five minutes were filled up with situations like this… the Leverkusen team would try to break through the Porto defense but weren't able to go far enough and ended up passing back in a bid to retain the ball or losing possession directly.

Upon losing the ball, the Leverkusen team would launch a high press and snatch the ball back before the Porto side could do anything with it.
