Jonas Hofmann celebrated his return to the Europa League with a brace as Bayer Leverkusen defeated OFI Crete 2-0 on Thursday.
Hofmann wasn't named by coach Carles Martinez to Leverkusen's 23-man Europa League squad at the start of the season. However, he was included in the roster ahead of the match against OFI Crete following Martin Terrier's injury.
The midfielder broke the deadlock in the 35th minute. Goalkeeper Klidman Lilo blocked Afonso Moreira's effort but Hofmann was quick to collect the rebound and score from close range.
Just three minutes later, he was again on target with a clinical strike after Malik Tillman's assist.
Leverkusen top the standings and are unbeaten in the competition so far with three wins in as many games.
