According to Fotmob the 22-year-old made 62 % successful passes, 1 shot on target and had an impressive rating of 7.1 despite the negative outcome of the game for his team.

German international Stefan Kiessling scored the only goal of the game to give Bayern Leverkusen victory but mighty German website Bild rated Baba Rahman as one of the best performers at the Veltins Arena.
