Bayer Leverkusen played its first competitive match in the DFB-Pokal under coach Carles Martínez, achieving a 4-0 victory against SV Wehen Wiesbaden. The match took place in Wiesbaden, where the team initially had to show patience to assert itself against the third-division opponents.

After a goalless first half, Leverkusen was able to showcase its dominance in the second period. According to sportschau.de, the Leverkusen team faced difficulties only in the first half, but ultimately, the Bundesliga side secured a clear victory, demonstrating its favorite status.

Alongside Leverkusen, other teams such as Werder Bremen and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim also advanced to the next round in the same competition, as reported by Deutschlandfunk.
