Goalkeeper Mark Flekken had to allow the first goal in the friendly match in the second minute. At halftime it was already 4-0.
The 17-year-old Montrell Culbreath saved the honor for Leverkusen, the new club of former PSV member Malik Tillman in the second half.
What does Erik ten Hag say?
“The result looks bad, but I don’t really interest the results in preparation,” said the Dutch trainer after the exhibition game. “We should never lose this team, certainly not with such a big margin, but it was especially important for me not to lose players with injuries. It would have been better to play this game later. But the last 30 minutes were better, luckily there was progress in it.”
