🤯 Debut madness: promoted side leave Leverkusen stunned
· Yahoo Sports
Promotion was the moon landing; now, with the club’s first-ever Bundesliga season, the small club from Saarland wants to take on the mission to Mars — or something along those lines is how Elversberg coach Vincent Wagner looked ahead to the club’s first Bundesliga match.
So far, SpVgg have made a more than dream start to this so-called mission to Mars. In the sold-out stadium in front of around 10,000 spectators, the promoted side are leading Leverkusen 2-0 after just eight minutes played (!!!)!

After a lively opening spell, Lukas Petkov scored the very first Bundesliga goal in the club’s history. The provider: of all people, Leverkusen loanee Onyeka (8').
And as if that wasn’t enough euphoria already, the second blow followed just a minute later. After a fatal misplaced pass from Tapsoba, who had already looked anything but convincing for the first goal conceded, Cole Campbell seized the opportunity and fired into the far corner with his left foot — 2-0!
And even after 20 minutes played, it doesn’t look like the Werkself have an answer ready anytime soon. Shots so far: 7 to 0 for the home side!
So far, the promoted team have done an absolutely outstanding job of completely shocking Leverkusen and are enjoying a dream start to this debut season! Surely not many of us had that on our bingo card.
What do you think? Will Leverkusen turn this around, or has Elversberg now been fully lifted by the euphoria? Write it in the comments!
