Edmond Tapsoba once again made his mark in the attacking phase for Bayer Leverkusen. The Burkinabè central defender delivered an assist to Patrik Schick for the opening goal against Augsburg. It was a perfect start, quickly spoiled as the visitors leveled just three minutes later, immediately reigniting the contest.

Still influential, Edmond Tapsoba continues to prove his consistency. With this latest assist, he now totals three assists this season, to go along with five goals. That makes eight decisive contributions overall—a number that highlights his growing importance in his team's attacking setup.

An outstanding output for a central defender, who is becoming a real weapon, both on set pieces and in rapid transitions.

Across his last three appearances, he already boasts two decisive contributions, proof of his strong momentum in this Bundesliga season's home stretch.

A record-breaking season and a new milestone

With eight goal involvements (goals and assists), Edmond Tapsoba is simply having the best season of his career. He surpasses his previous best set during the 2019-2020 campaign, when he was involved in seven goals.

With his all-round profile, he has now established himself as one of the most influential defenders in the German top flight this season.
