- Désiré Doué struck twice before halftime and was on the receiving end of Robert Andrich’s elbow that led to the Leverkusen captain’s red card.
- Disciplinary swings shaped the night as both sides finished with ten men, Alejandro Grimaldo missed a first‑half penalty for Leverkusen, and PSG’s Illya Zabarnyi conceded two penalties before being sent off.
