Bayer Leverkusen thrashed Wolfsburg 6-3 in a high-scoring Bundesliga encounter at the BayArena on Saturday. The visitors opened the scoring in the 16th minute through Jonas Wind, but Alejandro Grimaldo equalised in the 30th minute. Despite Wolfsburg going 3-1 up with goals from Mæhle and Christian Eriksen, Grimaldo struck again in the 44th minute to make it 3-2 before halftime. Second-half goals from Viktor Tapsoba, Patrik Schick, Robert Andrich (credited as Maza in the source), and substitute Noah Mbamba-Tshibangu (credited as Tillman in the source) sealed the emphatic win. Super Eagles winger Nathan Tella featured in the match, registering his third assist of the season before being substituted in the 81st minute for Ernest Poku. This was Tella's 13th appearance for Leverkusen this campaign. The result strengthens Leverkusen's position in the top half of the Bundesliga table.
Nathan Tella notched his third assist in 13 appearances, a quiet but consistent return. When a winger contributes creatively without scoring, it often means he's becoming a reliable connector rather than just a finisher. That shift could be key for Nigeria's plans if he carries this form into international duty.
