The Czech forward had to clear the ball from the line.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur took second place shortly after Serikwas was sent out, with the other goals following Mart Tasdelen&#8217;s late delivery due to a bad challenge with Leverkusen&#8217;s defender, accelerator tape.<\/p>\n<p>Former Manchester United manager Ten Hag said <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">Xabi Alonso tied up in Real Madrid<\/span> And I had little time to work with a team that was making big changes. Key players like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Granit Xhaka were Kofane, Tape, Ibrahim Maza, Jarell Quansah and goalkeeper Mark Flekken made their debut on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The game was interrupted in the first half by a summer storm featuring hail. Judge Michael Bacher led the team out of the field. It resumed after a 40-minute break.<\/p>\n<p>Union Berlin also routed another four-tier side, G\u00fctersloh, which is 5-0 away away, with second division Magdeburg enjoying a 3-1 victory in the third division Saarbr\u00fccken.<\/p>\n<p>Union used deadball situations to score a 3-0 halftime lead, with Robert Skov firing with a free kick, and Leopold Kuerfeld and Danilho Dokech earning the corner.<\/p>\n<p>Union goalkeeper Frederick Lanenow had to go outside early in the second half after showing that he was feeling dizzy. Matheo Raab made his Union debut, but there was little to do when Andrej Ili\u0107 scored.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP Soccer: <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/soccer<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/leverkusen-ten-hag-debut-german-cup-f5631ebc2a5400795263117be45de002\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN (AP) &#8211; Erik Ten Hag won the championship as coach of Bayer Leverkusen in the first round of the German Cup on Friday with a 4-0 result with fourth-tier team Sonnenhof Gro\u00dfaspach.
