Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: 1. FC Nurnberg gets underway.
- 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jadon Sancho suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Nurnberg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 30' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' Dan-Axel Zagadou has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 50 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Tim Leibold made 293 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' Borussia Dortmund is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 50' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 55' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 55 minutes.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Nurnberg that had 293 games and scored 178 goals.
- 63' Another change for BV Borussia 09 Dortmund made on 63 minute. Maximilian Philipp leaves to be changed by Paco Alcacer.
- 66' Time for substitution for 1. FC Nurnberg. Adam Zrelak is replaced by Mikael Ishak.
- 71' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Borussia Dortmund needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 76' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jacob Bruun Larsen, as he is very good at scoring at Max-Morlock-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 77' The 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes a substitution. Eduard Lowen departs to be replaced by Robert Bauer.
