New Delhi, Feb 19 (NationPress) Leverkusen, Newcastle, and Bodo/Glimt all achieved victories in the initial legs of their UEFA Champions League knockout round play-offs.

Patrik Schick netted twice in a span of four minutes during the second half, helping Leverkusen to a 2-0 triumph over Olympiacos, avenging their earlier defeat in Piraeus.

Olympiacos' Kostas Tzolakis made two remarkable saves in the first half, denying Schick's attempt and tipping Ibrahim Maza's volley over the bar. Conversely, Janis Blaswich, the opposing goalkeeper, also thwarted Gelson Martins' curling shot before halftime, as reported by UEFA.

Schick broke the deadlock with a composed finish following a counterattack at the hour mark. Shortly after, he headed in Alejandro Grimaldo's corner for his second goal, positioning Die Werkself favorably in the fixture.

Anthony Gordon dazzled with a four-goal first-half performance, leading Newcastle United to a commanding 6-1 win over Qarabag FK.

The 24-year-old initiated the scoring just three minutes in, with Malick Thiaw quickly adding to the tally.

Gordon secured a match ball with a quick double shortly after the half-hour mark, converting a penalty before skillfully chipping in a third goal. He then slotted home another penalty just before the break, bringing his first-half tally to four.

Although Elvin Jafarguliyev scored a fierce strike for Qarabag, substitute Jacob Murphy swiftly restored the five-goal lead with a deflected shot.

Bodo/Glimt secured a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan with two goals in four minutes during the second half, marking their third consecutive memorable Champions League win, following previous triumphs against Manchester City and Atleti.

A clever back-heel from Kasper Hogh set up Sondre Brunstad Fet to net a precise opener in the 20th minute for the hosts, but Inter equalized through Pio Esposito's powerful strike.

Bodo/Glimt regained control with two goals shortly after the hour, starting with Jens Petter Hauge's unstoppable shot from Høgh's pass, followed by Høgh sealing the win with a close-range strike.

In another match, Christos Tzolis scored in the dying minutes, allowing Club Brugge to maintain their unbeaten record in five home matches against Atleti with a thrilling 3-3 draw.

Julian Alvarez's penalty and a tap-in from Ademola Lookman had the visitors in a strong position at halftime, but the hosts responded impressively.

Raphael Onyedika scored after Jan Oblak saved from Nicolo Tresoldi, who later equalized with a header from Mamadou Diakhon's cross. An own goal from Joel Ordonez appeared to seal the win for Atleti, but Tzolis' late intervention kept the tie in suspense.
