Bayer 04 Leverkusen 6-0 Heidenheim: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Bayer 04 Leverkusen 6-0 Heidenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 08 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen delivered a commanding performance, securing a 6-0 victory over Heidenheim at home. The result was not entirely surprising given Leverkusen’s recent form, which included a loss to Bayern München but a win against SC Freiburg. Heidenheim, on the other hand, struggled to find their footing, having drawn and lost their previous matches. This match saw Leverkusen extend their strong run at home, with Patrik Schick and Ernest Poku standing out, both scoring and contributing significantly to the team’s success.

The game was effectively decided early on, with Leverkusen scoring four goals within the first half-hour. This early dominance showcased their superior form and tactical execution. Heidenheim’s inability to respond effectively was evident, as they failed to register a single shot on target throughout the match. The result underlined Leverkusen’s potential to challenge for higher positions in the league, while Heidenheim’s struggles continued, leaving them at the bottom of the table.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s dominance was reflected in their 74% possession and 11 corners compared to Heidenheim’s 26% and 1 corner. This statistical disparity highlights Leverkusen’s control over the game’s tempo and their ability to create scoring opportunities. Leverkusen’s successful dribbles percentage of 58% further demonstrated their technical superiority, while Heidenheim managed only 38%.

The absence of yellow cards for Leverkusen and just one for Heidenheim suggests a relatively disciplined game, though the scoreline indicates Leverkusen’s relentless attack. The five assists recorded by Leverkusen players underscore their effective teamwork and passing, contrasting sharply with Heidenheim’s inability to create goal-scoring chances.

The match’s defining moments came early, with Patrik Schick scoring twice in the first 22 minutes, the first assisted by Ernest Poku. Poku himself scored in the 27th minute, assisted by Arthur, setting the tone for Leverkusen’s dominance. Ibrahim Maza added to the tally before halftime, assisted by Aleix García, and scored again in the 53rd minute, assisted by Edmond Tapsoba.

These goals effectively sealed the match, with Heidenheim’s only notable action being a yellow card to Jan Schöppner in the 36th minute. The early goals and subsequent substitutions by both teams did little to change the game’s outcome, as Leverkusen maintained their lead comfortably.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Mark Flekken in goal and a back three of Robert Andrich, Loïc Badé, and Edmond Tapsoba. The midfield was anchored by Arthur and Ibrahim Maza, with Aleix García and Alejandro Grimaldo providing width. Up front, Jonas Hofmann and Ernest Poku supported Patrik Schick, contributing to a fluid attacking setup that overwhelmed Heidenheim’s defense.

Heidenheim lined up in a 4-3-2-1 formation, with Diant Ramaj in goal and a back four of Omar Traoré, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben, and Jonas Föhrenbach. The midfield trio of Marnon Busch, Jan Schöppner, and Julian Niehues struggled to control the game, while Arijon Ibrahimovic and Mathias Honsak failed to provide the necessary support to striker Budu Zivzivadze. The formation did not effectively counter Leverkusen’s attacking prowess, leading to a heavy defeat.

Patrik Schick was rightfully named Man of the Match for his brace and overall impact on the game. Scoring in the 2nd and 22nd minutes, Schick’s clinical finishing and positioning were crucial in setting the tone for Leverkusen’s victory. His performance was a testament to his form and importance to the team’s attacking strategy.
