  • 7' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 12' The 21-year-old Tom Rothe has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 17' Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won 757 goals from 543 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 21' The referee shows Bayer 04 Leverkusen player a card on 21.
  • 26' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 28' 1. FC Union Berlin player sees a card in front of him.
  • 29' Jeong Wooyeong doubles the advantage! 1-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Florian Wirtz made 543 appearances and scored 62 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 39' Edmond Tapsoba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 398 appearances.
  • 44' Nordi Mukiele is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for 1. FC Union Berlin so far.
  • 49' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FC Union Berlin in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Bayer 04 Leverkusen's compact 3-4-2-1.
  • 54' 1. FC Union Berlin currently sit 10 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

  • 79' The whistle greets Jeremie Frimpong as he departs to be replaced by Nathan Tella.
  • 84' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.

  • 90' 1. FC Union Berlin player sees a card in front of him.
