Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. 1. FC Union Berlin kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Nenad Bjelica will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 10' Emre Can has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 15' Danilho Doekhi, a Suriname defender, has 16 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 25' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 30' Borussia Dortmund come into this ranked 4 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 35' Norway international Julian Ryerson has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 40' 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 Brenden Aaronson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 41' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Karim Adeyemi makes it 0-1.
  • 45' Borussia Dortmund player sees a card in front of him.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' 1. FC Union Berlin currently sit 14 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 60' named a 3-5-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 61' The supporters are chanting for Janik Haberer. He replaces Benedict Hollerbach on 61 minute.
  • 66' Another substitution for Borussia Dortmund to replace Julian Brandt by Salih Ozcan on 66 minute.
  • 69' A change in the 1. FC Union Berlin ranks — Jerome Roussillon exits the field as Christopher Trimmel enters on 69.
  • 74' The travelling Borussia Dortmund supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 75' The referee has no hesitation. Janik Haberer is booked for 1. FC Union Berlin — card on 75.
  • 78' Another substitution for Borussia Dortmund to replace Karim Adeyemi by Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on 78 minute.
  • 81' Diogo Leite makes way for Chris Bedia at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from 1. FC Union Berlin.
  • 86' It looks like no one’s ball. Borussia Dortmund is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 88' Borussia Dortmund ring the changes. Jadon Sancho has done his job and it is now time for Ramy Bensebaini to step up.
  • 90' What composure from Ian Maatsen! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 90' 1. FC Union Berlin receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Borussia Dortmund players.
