Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. 1. FSV Mainz 05 host Bayer 04 Leverkusen — let the battle begin!

  • 10' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Adam Szalai made 407 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Achim Beierlorzer will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 30' 1. FSV Mainz 05 seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 35' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Pierre Kunde has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is showing some good football. However, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 45' Bayer 04 Leverkusen make a change. Panagiotis Retsos trudges off to be replaced by Karim Bellarabi on 45 minutes.
  • 50' 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.
  • 55' Bayer 04 Leverkusen has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 58' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Wendell.
  • 63' 1. FSV Mainz 05 currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 66' Jean-Philippe Mateta has so much to prove this time. He replaces Adam Szalai on 66 minute.
  • 71' The referee shows Bayer 04 Leverkusen player a Red card on 71.
  • 74' Aleksandar Dragovic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Moussa Diaby on 74 minute.

  • 81' The supporters are chanting for Lucas Alario. He replaces Kerem Demirbay on 81 minute.
  • 86' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 87' Another substitution for 1. FSV Mainz 05 to replace Robin Quaison by Karim Onisiwo on 87 minute.
