As the night drew to a close, a showdown between the European Union and the German-Italian allies took place at dawn on Wednesday (11th). In a thrilling battle, FC Leverkusen once again proved to the world that their title of "King of Killers" is not just for nothing. After 89 minutes of hard fighting, they defeated Inter Milan 1-0 at home, ending their opponent's undefeated streak in this year's UEFA Europa League. In other words, out of the 36 participating teams, only 6 teams won, while Liverpool maintained their undefeated record for the whole year.
Leverkusen have shown overwhelming dominance in this season's competition. In the whole match, they had 17 shots on goal, while Inter Milan only had 6. Soon after the match started, Liwagosun had a chance to break the deadlock, but striker Nitundi's aerial shot regrettably hit the crossbar. Gleshaga, Kolyanwadis and Shelly Mayfairimbang then threatened but failed to convert into goals.
Just when everyone thought the game was going to end in a draw, Leverkusen caught the chance from a corner kick, and 27-year-old French international Lodimekini, who is on loan from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, showed great form in the attack. He is the man who scored several crucial goals in the final round of last season, and continues the legend of the "King of Killers" this season.
With Inter Milan's four-game winning streak in the UEFA Europa League coming to an abrupt end, manager Szymon Szczecki was forced to admit that his team did not perform as well as their rivals in this match. At the same time, he also considered the "fine" rotation as one of the major reasons for the loss. In the second half, the team's star players, Lumatini, Nicolai Ballerina and Federico Di Marco, were replaced one after another, which led to the team being in chaos for most of the match.
