Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Borussia Dortmund kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Paco Alcacer has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' Christian Mathenia has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Nurnberg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 20' Axel Witsel needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Nurnberg that had 295 games and scored 184 goals.
  • 40' 1. FC Nurnberg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 45' Supporters expect more eagerness from Enrico Valentini, as he is very good at scoring at Max-Morlock-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 55' 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 Thomas Delaney suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' 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.
  • 63' The supporters are chanting for Paco Alcacer. He replaces Maximilian Philipp on 63 minute.
  • 66' Mikael Ishak has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adam Zrelak on 66 minute.
  • 71' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 76' Borussia Dortmund is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 77' 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Robert Bauer is hanging Eduard Lowen on the field on 77 minute.
  • 80' BV Borussia 09 Dortmund manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jacob Bruun Larsen is hanging Thomas Delaney on the field on 80 minute.
  • 85' Federico Palacios Martinez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yuya Kubo on 85 minute.
  • 88' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Christian Mathenia.
  • 89' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Axel Witsel.
  • The final score is 0-0.
