[1st minute]

Volland rolled the ball back to Havertz, who immediately controlled it with precision, scanning the field for movement. Leverkusen's midfield pushed up quickly, with Wendell overlapping on the left, his pace already a threat to Düsseldorf's defensive line. Havertz played a sharp diagonal pass to Bellarabi on the right, but Morales intercepted with a perfectly timed sliding tackle, drawing early applause from the Düsseldorf fans.

Düsseldorf immediately countered. Morales scooped the ball forward into space for Karaman to chase. Karaman outpaced Sven Bender, cutting inside towards the box, but his shot lacked power, allowing Hrádecký to make a comfortable save. Regaining control, the red lions worked to retain it using their superior quality to play keep away.
