Events

Match Events

  • 0' 1. FSV Mainz 05 have kicked off against 1. FC Köln. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' 1. FSV Mainz 05 currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Köln backline.
  • 15' Jean-Paul Boetius is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FSV Mainz 05 tonight.
  • 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marius Wolf, as he is very good at scoring at Opel Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FSV Mainz 05 that had 438 games and scored 407 goals.
  • 30' The travelling 1. FC Köln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' Over 35 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 37' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Moussa Niakhate on 37 minutes.
  • 42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 45' It’s a booking for 1. FSV Mainz 05 player. Danny Latza gets a Yellow card.
  • 50' A quiet spell here at Opel Arena. 1. FSV Mainz 05 seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 55' Elvis Rexhbecaj is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the midfielder.
  • 60' The whistle greets Jan Thielmann as he departs to be replaced by Anthony Modeste.
  • 65' 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 Edimilson Fernandes suffering a number of foals already.
  • 67' A meaty challenge results in booking for Karim Onisiwo on 67.
  • 68' 1. FSV Mainz 05 ring the changes. Jean-Paul Boetius has done his job and it is now time for Robin Quaison to step up.
  • 70' Salih Ozcan is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
  • 75' Ondrej Duda has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 75.
  • 76' The referee does not hesitate — a Red card for Ondrej Duda on 76 minutes.
  • 76' A change in the 1. FSV Mainz 05 ranks — Jonathan Burkardt exits the field as Pierre Kunde enters on 76.
  • 77' 1. FSV Mainz 05 ring the changes. Alexander Hack has done his job and it is now time for Issah Abbas to step up.
  • 81' Jannes-Kilian Horn catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 81.
  • 82' The supporters are chanting for Dominick Drexler. He replaces Elvis Rexhbecaj on 82 minute.
  • 87' 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.
  • 90' Benno Schmitz gets the nod from 1. FC Koln. He replaces Salih Ozcan and will look to change the dynamic.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for 1. FSV Mainz 05.
