Bayer Leverkusen won the group in the European Football League and set a new goal record.
The second in the table of the Bundesliga defeated Slavia Prague 4-0 (2-0) on Thursday.
With their fifth win in their sixth game, coach Peter Bosz's team secured first place ahead of the Czechs.
Leon Bailey (8th, 32nd) scored both goals for the hosts in the first half.
Moussa Diaby (59th) and Karim Bellarabi (90th + 1), who were substituted on for Bailey, increased in the second round.
With the four goals, Leverkusen improved the German goal record in the Europa League to 21. Werder Bremen (2009/10) and Eintracht Frankfurt (2018/19) held the previous German record with 17 goals each.
