SV 07 Elversberg vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen

SV Elversberg pulled off one of the great Bundesliga opening-day shocks, beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 in their first-ever top-flight home match, racing into a 3-0 lead before holding off a late fightback. Petkov opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a deflected shot, and Campbell doubled it a minute later after a Tapsoba error. Mokwa struck just 25 seconds into the second half to make it 3-0. Leverkusen responded through Schick, who diverted Maza's shot in with his heel in the 77th minute, and Kofane pulled it back to 3-2 in stoppage time after a Boniface header, but the comeback fell short. It's a historic first Bundesliga win for newly-promoted Elversberg, who start the season among the league's early pacesetters. For Leverkusen, despite dominating possession and shots, it's a troubling opening-day defeat that raises questions before a busy autumn.
