🔥 Kovac makes a masterstroke, BVB’s troubled stars stun BayerOneFootballSat, November 29, 2025 at 7:10 PM UTC·1 min readDuring the top match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, some BVB fans were surely quite surprised after 61 minutes.
Coach Nico Kovac took star striker Serhou Guirassy off the field and brought on Fabio Silva. The summer newcomer has yet to really impress – earlier in the week, he even missed a penalty during the Champions League win against Villarreal (4:0). Nevertheless, Kovac put his trust in his attacker – and was rewarded just a few minutes later.

The DFB striker powered the ball into the net with a header to make it 2-0 (65th minute), once again showing a strong response to the media buzz surrounding his illegal possession of weapons.
Leverkusen, meanwhile, offered little, especially in the second half.
Kofane clearly heard that message. The 19-year-old pulled one back in the 83rd minute to make it 1-2.
