UEFA Europa League: Adam Hlozek's brace helped Bayer Leverkusen extend its unbeaten streak to 23 matches and advance into the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League with a perfect winning record, after a commanding 5-1 victory over Molde.

The Werkself had a strong start in front of their home crowd, scoring the opener just six minutes in. Robert Andrich intercepted a pass before setting up Patrik Schick, who fired the ball from 20 meters past Molde goalkeeper Oliver Petersen, reports Xinhua.

Leverkusen gained momentum and doubled their lead in the 22nd minute when Edmond Tapsoba nodded home Jonas Hofmann's pinpoint cross.
