Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between 1. FC Nurnberg and VfL Wolfsburg is underway.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Georg Margreitter made 295 appearances and scored 2 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' VfL Wolfsburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' William has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 30' It looks surprising VfL Wolfsburg does not make any changes. Fabian Bredlow has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 35' VfL Wolfsburg 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.
  • 40' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 40 minutes.
  • 45' VfL Wolfsburg is showing some good football. However, VfL Wolfsburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 50' It looks like no one’s ball. VfL Wolfsburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 53' Adam Zrelak is having his name booked by the referee on 53.
  • 58' Goal! Daniel Ginczek scores his 19 goal in 471 matches.
  • 63' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 471 games and scored 479 goals.
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ondrej Petrak on 67.
  • 71' The supporters are chanting for Mikael Ishak. He replaces Matheus Pereira on 71 minute.
  • 76' Supporters expect more eagerness from John Brooks, as he is very good at scoring at Max-Morlock-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 79' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Yunus Malli departs to be replaced by Josip Brekalo.
  • 83' The 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes a substitution. Simon Rhein departs to be replaced by Sebastian Kerk.
  • 85' The referee shows VfL Wolfsburg player a Yellow card on 85.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Renato Steffen. He replaces Wout Weghorst on 87 minute.
  • 88' Another substitution for 1. FC Nurnberg to replace Federico Palacios Martinez by Patrick Erras on 88 minute.
  • 90' GOAL! Josip Brekalo scores on 90. Assisted by Yannick Gerhardt
