Match Recap
Bayer Leverkusen took control of this UEFA Europa League clash early, and S. Seslar made sure it stayed that way, breaking the deadlock in the 15th minute. Celje, sitting eighth in the table against Leverkusen's lowly 18th, had chances to punish a shaky opponent but couldn't find a way through, and the German side made them pay again late on. F. Medina put the result beyond doubt in the 74th minute, turning a nervy afternoon into a comfortable 2-0 win. It's a result that flatters Leverkusen's league position far more than their current form, and a frustrating night for a Celje side that arrived ranked well above them. Neither Seslar nor Medina troubles P. Stanic's grip on the league's scoring charts, but both strikes carried real weight for their team. Two goals, two different phases of the game, one job finished. Watch how Seslar springs the opener in the 15th minute and how Medina's 74th-minute finish slams the door on any Celje comeback hopes.
