00:00BOOING
00:16Yeah, the ball nicked here by Frimpong for Leverkusen.
00:21It's cross-blocked, it'll run on here...
00:23For Xhaka!
00:27My goodness!
00:31Well, the former foal does not choose to celebrate the goal,
00:34but what a goal it was!
00:46Back to player.
00:48Looking here for Klynde Instead, he got the header as well,
00:50almost finding Rocco Reitz in the penalty area.
00:53Here is right, angle tight!
00:54And they block by Hrodetsky.
00:57Well, he claims a shirt pull here, Rocco Reitz.
01:00FULL-TIME WHISTLE
01:10Florian Wiertz.
01:12And Boniface.
01:14Boniface blocks.
01:15He's still there!
01:17And the ball back off the frame from Boniface.
01:20Well, the home fans are livid because they have a play-down injured.
01:30Xhaka again, pushed on now to Edmond Tapsoba!
01:35And he's hit the frame as well from distance.
01:41Xhaka again.
01:49Frimpong.
01:51And Frimpong still here, it's pulled back.
01:54There's Grimaldo, and Wiertz!
02:01A champion performance already here from Leverkusen in the first half.
02:06Florian Wiertz, last season's Bundesliga player of the season.
02:11His account opened on matchday one.
02:18Sturger.
02:21Andrić helped on here.
02:23A chance, good save from Hrodetsky!
02:25And they do have a goal bunch.
02:31Well, Kleindienst in there when the boots were flying around to...
02:34Maybe get the last touch on that to get Kled back in the contest before half-time.
02:44Free kick, no goal.
02:54Hofmann and Xhaka.
02:57Xhaka.
02:58Oh, Frimpong's in here, Frimpong!
03:00Omlin makes the save.
03:01Here, though, is Wiertz again, and Hofmann again.
03:04And Wiertz drilled across, and Omlin hangs on.
03:14Kevin Sturger towards Itakura with a header!
03:18Oh, Hrodetsky saves!
03:21Elvehdy scores!
03:23And they do have a goal on the board to halve the deficit.
03:38Sturger.
03:40Rolls-Adler.
03:44That's Cervantura.
03:46Scali.
03:49It's Kevin Sturger.
03:50Lovely ball in!
03:54Tim Kleindienst.
03:58Level against the champions.
04:01But Kevin Sturger, what a pass to make the goal.
04:08Frimpong for Tabsoba.
04:11Hadley with a turn.
04:13And here is Grimaldo Terrier.
04:18This is better.
04:23Well, here is an enormous decision.
04:26In the game's 100th minute,
04:29Leverkusen penalty.
04:37Florian Wiertz!
04:38Oh, turned away!
04:40And then in!
04:46No team does late winners quite like
04:51Bayer Leverkusen.
04:56And Leverkusen, the champions, have begun their defence with a win.
05:00But my word, this was a close-run thing.
05:03What a game.
05:04What a way to start the new season.
05:06The final score here.
05:07It ends Gladbach 2, Leverkusen 3.
