Victor Boniface opened the scoring for Leverkusen in the 30th minute, marking his sixth league goal this season despite recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident. Marvin Ducksch equalized for Bremen in the 74th minute, only for Leverkusen to briefly regain the lead through an own goal by Felix Agu three minutes later. However, Schmid's late strike ensured Bremen secured their first home goal of the season.
