Champions League
Feyenoord – Leverkusen and Red Star – Beinfica
Bayer Leverkusen have started the Champions League season with a resounding victory. The German soccer champions won 4:0 (4:0) at Feyenoord Rotterdam on Thursday.
Young star Florian Wirtz shone on his CL debut with a brace (6th, 36th). For Feyenoord, ÖFB team player Gernot Trauner played his first game from the start after being troubled by thigh problems since the European Championship in Germany three months ago.
Wirtz gave Leverkusen an early lead with a shot from distance. Feyenoord then had more of the play, but were mercilessly outplayed by Bayer in their own stadium. Jeremie Frimpong assisted Alejandro Grimaldo's goal (30') and Wirtz's second. Trauner was shown a yellow card after a foul on Grimaldo and Edmond Tapsoba headed the resulting free-kick into the middle. There, Feyenoord goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther bent the ball into his own goal (45').
Feyenoord pressed for a consolation goal after the break. Trauner came close to scoring from a set-piece, but was brought down by Robert Andrich in the penalty area. The DFB team player hit the Upper Austrian on the shin, but no penalty was awarded due to a previous offside decision (67'). Benfica Lisbon won 2:1 (2:0) at Red Star Belgrade. The goals for Portugal's runners-up were scored by the Turks Kerem Aktürkoglu (9) and Orkun Kökcü (29).
