In the early morning of May 26, Beijing time, the German Cup final of this season officially started, with Leverkusen playing Kaiserslautern. In the end, Leverkusen won the German Cup for the second time in the history of the team, relying on Zaka's only goal to beat Kaiserslautern 1-0, and won the Cup again after 31 years. Coach Xabi Alonso won the domestic double crown.
This is the end of Leverkusen's season, which had the chance to achieve the great cause of unbeaten treble. Because of the defeat of Atlanta in the final of the China Europe United Cup this week, this goal failed ahead of schedule, and 51 unbeaten games in various competitions ended miserably, returning to the starting point.
In order to make up for the regret of not winning the Europa League, Leverkusen naturally hopes to win the German Cup and achieve the domestic double crown. The opponent is Kaiserslautern from the German second division, who has won the German Cup twice, even more times than Leverkusen.
In the 16th minute, Leverkusen made a good start: the front court was intercepted continuously, and finally Zaka sent a world wave from a long distance to break the goal, and the whole team celebrated crazily.
According to statistics, Zaka became the first Swiss player to score in the German Cup final, rewriting the historical record. Leverkusen played 50 games in various competitions this season, scoring 4 goals and assisting twice.
In the 44th minute, Audiron stepped on the ankle of the other player, got the second yellow card and was sent off. Leverkusen fought one less.
In the second half, Leverkusen still had the upper hand when the number of players was at a disadvantage, and Adley and Stanic shot one after another to pose a threat.
In the 75th minute, Wiltz counterattacked and sent a wonderful pass. At last, Frimpong's single shot opportunity passed the other goalkeeper and the pass was destroyed, which failed to help Leverkusen lock the victory.
After 1993, Leverkusen won the German Cup again, equaling Kaiserslautern in the number of times won, and defeated Kaiserslautern again after 9 years.
Although it was impossible to achieve the unbeaten treble, Leverkusen still won the domestic double crown, which was the first time in the team's 120 year history.
