They were very lucky because they got a red card in the last minute, imagine when these two red cards were obtained in the early time and still have a long game then leverkusen will definitely have a hard time keeping the score and the possibility will only get a defeat and this is the first time leverkusen can get a win in the game this season after three consecutive defeats so improvement in the quality of the game is urgently needed.
But indeed this is still influential, especially for their first red card in the 77th minute.
this victory is still very good for them but losing 2 players due to a card penalty this time will also have an impact on their performance in the next match especially we also have to see that what they have to face is Freiburg next week.
Yes, it's true that the red card they received will have an impact on their match the following week. And their opponent is Freiburg, which Freiburg have better stats than them this season. Now they have to prepare for the match if they don't want to lose again. This week's victory should be a motivation for them to be able to play even better.
Finally, Leverkusen's bad results stopped in week 4 of the Bundesliga, where Leverkusen beat Mainz with a pretty big score. After the previous
3 games on a losing streak, this victory against Mainz is very important to increase the confidence of Leverkusen players. Moreover, the opponent
that Leverkusen will face next is Freiburg, where Freiburg started this season very well. So Leverkusen do need their players confidence up,
luckily they got a positive result against Mainz. But this Leverkusen victory had to sacrifice two of his defenders who were hit with red cards and
had to miss the face of Freiburg.
This is not a good situation for Leverkusen, especially losing Piero Hincapie who is Leverkusen's mainstay defender is not an easy thing
for Leverkusen. Meanwhile, losing Mitchel Bakker is not so influential because Bakker is not Leverkusen's main player this season.
Bakker is widely used as a substitute, so losing Bakker will not affect Leverkusen's performance significantly. But I believe Gerardo Seoane,
who the previous season managed to make Leverkusen in 3rd position, has his own strategy against Freiburg. Even though Leverkusen started
the season badly and also Leverkusen couldn't play Hincapie and Bakker, but I predict that Leverkusen can beat Freiburg. Moreover, they could be
above Freiburg the previous season, meaning that Leverkusen's quality is indeed better than Freiburg. I'm sure Leverkusen will get their first home
win of the season against Freiburg.
