Leverkusen suffered a surprise defeat

Bayer Leverkusen made a stuttering start to their Bundesliga preparations
as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of third-tier outfit Sonnenhof
Grossaspach.
Roger Schmidt's side were unable to find a way through in high
temperatures on Sunday as Pascal Breier's strike just before the half-hour
mark settled the match.
The striker capitalised after Leverkusen lost possession in midfield, the
hosts subsequently breaking before Breier fired past Dario Kresic.
Stuttgart had no such problems against Viktoria Plzen as they ran out 6-3
winners in their friendly in Austria, Martin Harnik grabbing two in the first
half for the Bundesliga side.
Harnik's strikes added to Jerome Kieswetter's opener before Arianit Ferati,
Carlos Gruezo and Jan Kliment completed an emphatic win for Alexander
Zorniger's side.
Meanwhile, Hannover needed spot kicks to separate themselves and Lekia
Gdansk, the visitors winning 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Ludlin.
Gdansk duo Damian Garbacik and Jerome Gierszewski both missed from
the spot to hand Hannover victory, after Kenan Karaman had levelled in
the final minute of normal time for the German side.
