Henrique: Oberhausen-Leverkusen 2-3

Bayer Leverkusen played last weekend the first round of the German cup against second divison team Rot-Weiß Oberhausen.

With 1-1 on the scoreboard after 90 minutes, Leverkusen won the game in the end with 2-3 and qualified for the second round, that will be played next month.

Central defender and Barcelona loan out Henrique started the game and played the whole 120 minutes.

The German Bundesliga also starts this weekend. Leverkusen will play against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

In the 4-4-2 of new Leverkusen manager Bruno Labbadia, there seem to be three candidates for the two centre back positions: Henrique (Brazil - 21 - first season with Leverkusen), Karim Haggui (Tunisia - 24 - third season with Leverkusen) and Manuel Friedrich (Germany - 28 - second season with Leverkusen).
