Bayer Leverkusen’s social media team meant it as a light-hearted jab, but their pre-match post almost turned prophetic for Kasper Hjulmand’s squad. They cheekily warned, “No corners allowed,” poking fun at Arsenal’s tactical preference this season, adding, “Worth a try … ”
The tactic seemed effective for nearly the entire tense first half, with neither side achieving a corner until added time. However, the dynamics shifted dramatically at the start of the second half when Leverkusen’s captain, Robert Andrich, capitalized on their second corner to score. Arsenal was suddenly on the back foot. But Kai Havertz stepped up against his old team to equalize with a late penalty after Noni Madueke was fouled.
