While Leverkusen's attacking display was truly spectacular, we have to remember Heidenheim is at the bottom of the table. It'll be interesting to see if they can replicate this against stronger opposition.

It was only Heidenheim, bottom of the league.
Leonardo
It's fantastic to see such a high-scoring game and individual brilliance from players like Maza and Schick. Yet, one wonders if Heidenheim's defensive errors contributed more to the scoreline than Leverkusen's pure tactical genius.

This scoreline says more about Heidenheim's struggles than Leverkusen's greatness.
