Leverkusen scores twice in 2 minutes to claw back in wild match vs. Roma
No quit.
Bayer Leverkusen, who watched as Roma stormed back to score four straight goals in Tuesday's Champions League contest - and seemingly render Javier Hernandez's first-half brace meaningless - ensured that the match had one final, wild, unexpected swing.
Rather, make that two.
With only six minutes remaining on the clock, Kevin Kampl drew the German club within one by scoring one of the most sublime goals of the day, curling a beauty into the top corner.
With the supporters still celebrating, not yet with their backsides returned to their seats, substitute Admir Mehmedi brought the contest level 120 seconds later, tapping home into an open goal to ensure that the two sides shared the spoils.
Up two early, down two late and then back level with only minutes remaining. The gamut of emotions was on display at the BayArena on Tuesday.
