Bayer Leverkusen came back from 2-0 behind once again to gain victory over Qarabağ FK in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16.

Match Overview

In the first half, Borja Iglesias had a few chances to score but couldn't take them.

After a first half which left viewers without a goal and too much excitement, Qarabağ opened the scoring in the 58th minute through Abdellah Zoubir.

Just four minutes late, they went down to ten men as Jafarguliyev was handed a red card for a challenge on Jeremie Frimpong.

Despite having ten men, Qarabağ were able to double their lead in the 67th minute to make it 2-0 through Juninho.

Jeremie Frimpong, however, netted in the 72nd minute to pull one back for Xabi Alonso's side.

Extremely late on, in the 93rd minute substitute Patrik Schick netted for the second week in a row to level the score.

Lastly, in an incredibly late fashion Schick netted yet another to win the tie at 3-2 in the 98th minute.

Man of the match
