Three days after winning their first match of the Europa League qualifying campaign on the turf of the Kukesi Albanians (0-4) and four days before facing the Ukrainians of Desna, still, on the European stage, the Wolfsburg Wolves launched their Bundesliga season in their stadium, against Bayer Leverkusen, 5th of the last financial year.
Despite the combined presence of Sochalian rookie Maxence Lacroix in central defense and Jérôme Roussillon on the left side of this rearguard, and in the absence of the suspended captain Joshua Guilavogui, the Volkswagen-stamped club could only share the points (0-0). No goals in this match, which also included the Frenchman Moussa Diaby in the ranks of Leverkusen. Next weekend, Bayer will host Leipzig and Wolfsburg will move to Freiburg.
