Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Opel Arena will turn into a battlefield for 1. FSV Mainz 05 and 1. FC Nürnberg.
  • 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 10' 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.
  • 12' Magnificent from Daniel Brosinski! That is 9 goals in 436 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 17' 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 Jean-Philippe Mateta suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' Enrico Valentini is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FSV Mainz 05 tonight.
  • 27' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eduard Lowen made 295 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 36' Jean-Philippe Mateta was booked on 36.
  • 41' Jean-Philippe Gbamin, a Ivory Coast , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 52' Controversy at the stadium! Fabian Bredlow argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 54' It’s a booking for 1. FC Nurnberg player. Fabian Bredlow gets a Yellow card.
  • 54' The supporters are chanting for Alexandru Maxim. He replaces Levin Oztunali on 54 minute.
  • 59' Nigeria international Anthony Ujah has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 64' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both 1. FSV Mainz 05 and 1. FC Nürnberg are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 66' 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Eduard Lowen is hanging Matheus Pereira on the field on 66 minute.
  • 71' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FSV Mainz 05 that had 436 games and scored 398 goals.
  • 73' Robin Quaison doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 78' The energy levels are beginning to show. Michael Kollner might look to freshen things up shortly.
