Bayer Leverkusen won 4-2 (2-2) at Hapoel Beer Sheva on matchday three of the Europa League. Hapoel striker Elton Acolatse provided the highlight of the match in the 25th minute. The Dutchman accepted a heel pass in the penalty area, prevailed over Bayer defender Aleksandar Dragović, sent goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký out with a beautiful body deception and put the ball on the two Leverkusen defenders waiting in front of the line door with a deliberate but rambling blow against the direction of travel in the right corner. During the interim tour for Israelis, there was a touch of Jay-Jay Okocha in the air.
Bayer had already taken the lead in the fifth minute with Leon Bailey and 25-year-old Acolatse equalized with a left-footed shot (11th minute). After the 2-1 dream goal, Bayer responded before half-time but needed the help of the hosts: goalkeeper Ohad Levita defended himself from a header and the head of teammate Or Dadia the ball first hit the post, then into his own net (39.).
Bailey’s second goal is a 3-2 for Bayer: the only Jamaican 1.78 meters tall prevailed in the aerial duel against Levita and headed for the lead (75th). Florian Witz got the final score in the 88th minute.
