Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: 1. FC Kaiserslautern gets underway.
  • 5' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Tobias Mohr, as he is very good at scoring at Fritz-Walter-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with 1. FC Kaiserslautern winning 50% of all matches.
  • 20' Justin Heekeren, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 25' The travelling FC Schalke 04 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 30' Jan Elvedi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Schalke 04 tonight.
  • 35' Daisuke Yokota doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 40' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 45' It’s high time Torsten Lieberknecht made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 46' The whistle greets Max Gruger as he departs to be replaced by Emil Hojlund.
  • 51' Luca Sirch has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
  • 55' The referee shows 1. FC Kaiserslautern player a card on 55.
  • 60' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Torsten Lieberknecht will be considering his options from the bench.

  • 64' A tactical swap from 1. FC Kaiserslautern — Mika Haas on, Frank Ronstadt off on 64 minutes.
  • 69' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 70' A change in the FC Schalke 04 ranks — Mehmet-Can Aydin exits the field as Adrian Gantenbein enters on 70.

  • FC Schalke 04 will have plenty to reflect on. 1. FC Kaiserslautern were simply the better side today.
