Leverkusen got off to a quick start, with Quansah scoring six minutes into his Bundesliga debut after connecting with Alejandro Grimaldo's free-kick and heading past Oliver Baumann. However, Quansah was caught cold at the other end when Asllani managed to evade him in the box before firing beyond Mark Flekken at the near post to equalise in the 25th minute.
Sandro Wagner turned down the offer from TSG Hoffenheim, despite being their preferred candidate for the next season, indicating a potential agreement with another Bundesliga club.
