Bayer Leverkusen beat Lech Poznan 4-0 as Schick scores twice

Patrik Schick scored twice from the spot as Bayer Leverkusen won 4-0 at Lech Poznan on the second matchday of the Europa League. The Czech forward converted penalties in the 29th and 41st minutes, and Leverkusen now have two wins from two in the competition. Across the Europa League group stage, they have won eight straight games.

Schick's role in a controlled away win

The first penalty came after Ibrahim Maza's shot struck Terry Yegbe's hand and referee Milos Milanovic awarded the spot kick after a video review. The second arrived after an aerial duel with Schick following a corner, with Mateusz Skrzypczak penalised for the challenge. In both moments, Schick stayed calm and put the game beyond the home side before half-time.

That composure has lined up with his wider scoring run. Schick has 2 Europa League goals in 2 appearances this season, 5 goals in 5 appearances across all competitions, and he has scored in every league game so far. The season rating of 8.17 in the Bundesliga sits alongside a run of 5 goals in his last 5 matches.

Leverkusen's run before Freiburg

Malik Tillman also added to Leverkusen's European output, and Maza's shot helped force the opening penalty. Carles Martínez's side then shifted into administration mode, as SPORT1 put it, and the game never really came back into reach for Lech Poznan.

Leverkusen's next Bundesliga match is at home to SC Freiburg, the league leaders, on 18 October 2026. After Poznan, the only number that really changed was the margin, because the form line stayed the same.
