3' A moment of madness from Joseph Scally on 3 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Borussia Monchengladbach will be frustrated.
8' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Mönchengladbach that had 481 games and scored 516 goals.
13' 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 Franck Honorat suffering a number of foals already.

33' Julian Weigl was booked on 33.

80' Borussia Monchengladbach manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Grant-Leon Ranos is hanging Tomas Cvancara on the field on 80 minute.
