79'
Schick booked
The striker picks up a yellow card for his celebration after his fourth goal.
77'
Schick again!
Grimaldo swings a corner in from the right. Schick wins the header in the middle, nodding home from close range against Atubolu. That's his fourth of the night!
74'
Schick gets his hat-trick!
Another goal for Schick and another assist for Wirtz. Leverkusen counter quickly; Frimpong plays a cross from the right to Wirtz at the far post. The German touches it down for Schick, who strikes first time, lashing it past Atubolu.
73'
Off the bar again!
Freiburg win the ball off Xhaka high up the pitch and look to attack. It's worked as far as Grifo on the edge of the box on the left side, who curls an effort goalwards that rattles off the Leverkusen bar.

Schick gets his second!

62'
Off the bar!
Wirtz and Tella combine well on the edge of the Freiburg box. Wirtz attempts a cross from the left, curling it towards the back post. His cross is a little too close to the goal, however, bouncing off the crossbar before being cleared by Freiburg.
58'
Schick shoots
Frimpong crosses into Tella, who lays it off to Schick. He strikes with his left on the volley, but Atubolu makes a good save to deny him.
56'
Grifo halves the defecit!
Freiburg press well as a team, with Ginter and Dōan winning the ball high up the pitch off Schick. They quickly work it to Grifo, who doesn't have much time or space to get a shot away, but still manages to poke home into the bottom right corner from the edge of the box with a clever finish.
54'
Wide by Tella
Wirtz finds the wide man, who has a chance to stretch his legs and run at the Freiburg defence. He strikes powerfully with his left, but the ball flies wide to the left of the goal.
51'
Wirtz makes it two!
A fantastic passing move from Leverkusen. Grimaldo plays it off the left and into the feet of Palacios, who quickly plays one between the lines and into the box for Wirtz. He feints with his left foot, cuts back onto his right, and dispatches powerfully into the roof of the net from the near post.
48'
Quick restart from Freiburg
Could this be a statement of intent by the visitors? An intricate passing move culminates in Eggestein feeding a ball through for Dōan to chase, but his first touch lets him down and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
46'
Back underway!
Leverkusen get the ball rolling again for the second half here. Neither side makes a change at half-time.

Schick breaks the deadlock!
A lovely finish to a lovely Leverkusen team-goal. Wirtz spots Schick in space, sending him through down the middle. Under pressure from two defenders and with the keeper coming off his line, Schick remains calm and delicately lifts it over the keeper and into the net with real finesse.
45'
Added time
There are to be four additional minutes at the end of this half.
42'
Frimpong shoots
The Frenchman waits at the far post for a cross from the left. He meets the ball with a powerful half-volley, but the ball is stricken into the ground and Atubolu collects it.

Höler rushes it
A deflection off Tah, sets Höler free inside the Leverkusen penalty area. He shoots hurriedly into the side-netting, but he had more time there to pick his spot as nobody was coming across to challenge him.
34'
Penalty saved!
Wirtz aims for the left side of the goal, but it's not in the corner and it's at a good height for Atubolu, who dives the right way. Still level here.

Headed effort from Eggestein
Grifo plays a ball in from a Freiburg set piece. Leverkusen clear, but Freiburg play another ball into the box. Eggestein rises highest and heads goalwards, but his effort is straight at Hrádecký.
14'
No shot away
Wirtz creates a chance from off the left. He plays it to Schick in the middle, who can't get a shot away and lays it off for Tella, but the winger's first touch lets him down and he can't manage to get a shot off either.
12'
Off the bar!
The ball pops up for Lienhart on the edge of the Leverkusen box. Off-balance, he takes a first-time shot, his effort squarely smacking off the crossbar and behind.
11'
Tella shoots
Leverkusen break very quickly after they clear the Freiburg corner. Wirtz takes the ball down excellently before threading it through to Tella, who shoots. But, his shot is always rising.
10'
Corner for Freiburg
Grifo is tackled and the ball goes behind for Freiburg's first corner of the game. The delivery doesn't beat the man at the front post, however.
7'
Effort from Wirtz
Freiburg clear a Tella cross, but only as far as Wirtz, who strikes a venomous shot on the half-volley with his left boot, but Ginter blocks it behind for a corner. Leverkusen can't make anything from the resulting set piece, though.
5'
Stoppage
The referee called a halt to play for a couple of minutes, as smoke had obscured visibility on the pitch, but the situation has now been resolved.
