Overview

• Fernández entered in the 62nd minute for Malik Tillman and was dismissed late for two bookings in his first Bundesliga appearance.
• He was cautioned around the 78th minute after protesting a non-call and shown a second yellow at about 92' for a sliding challenge on Fares Chaibi by referee Deniz Aytekin.
• Leverkusen, already reduced after Robert Andrich’s earlier red card, still closed out a 3-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
• Exequiel Palacios exited with a muscular issue after roughly 15 minutes, adding a fresh concern for the midfield.
• Recent reports conflict on Fernández’s transfer valuation, while coverage also notes his 2024 move from Boca Juniors to Al-Qadisiyah for about $15 million.
