  • 43' The deadlock is broken! Karim Bellarabi gets on the scoresheet on 43 minutes.
  • 48' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sandro Schwarz will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 53' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 55' The whistle greets Pierre Kunde Malong as he departs to be replaced by Jean-Philippe Gbamin.
  • 60' 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 Tin Jedvaj suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' That is a Yellow card for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Robin Quaison will be fuming at that decision.

  • 81' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Julian Brandt by Lucas Alario on 81 minute.
