Still, he barely escaped defeat. After the game was over, the intervention of the video referee determined a penalty to be awarded to the hosts. Thus, the match was resumed for the kick, which was wasted by Carrasco in the 54th minute. This left Bayer Leverkusen with the hope of at least fighting for third place and relocation to the Europa League.

The draw, by 2 to 2, in the Bay Arena, against Wolfsburg, in the previous day, allowed him to leave the region of sticking.
