Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Opel Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' Borussia Mönchengladbach started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Lars Stindl makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Borussia Monchengladbach are in front.
- 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 23' Jean-Philippe Mateta adds to his 0 season tally! 1. FSV Mainz 05 lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
- 28' 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.
- 33' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 36' Sensational shot from Jean-Philippe Mateta. 1. FSV Mainz 05 is back in the lead.
- 41' 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 Oscar Wendt suffering a number of foals already.
- 46' It looks surprising Borussia Mönchengladbach does not make any changes. Nico Elvedi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 49' A moment of madness from Pierre Kunde on 49 minutes earns him a Yellow card. 1. FSV Mainz 05 will be frustrated.
- 53' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Breel Embolo on 53 minutes.
- 54' Another change for Borussia Monchengladbach made on 54 minute. Tony Jantschke leaves to be changed by Alassane Plea.
- 59' Jean-Paul Boetius is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Borussia Mönchengladbach tonight.
- 60' The crowd applauds Rocco Reitz as he leaves the pitch. Jonas Hofmann steps in for Borussia Monchengladbach.
- 61' The referee has no hesitation. Luca Kilian is booked for 1. FSV Mainz 05 — Yellow card on 61.
- 62' It’s a booking for Borussia Monchengladbach player. Florian Neuhaus gets a Yellow card.
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Edimilson Fernandes. He replaces Levin Oztunali on 65 minute.
- 68' Time for substitution for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Robin Quaison is replaced by Jonathan Burkardt.
- 72' Hannes Wolf is replacing Breel Embolo for the Borussia Monchengladbach side.
- 75' Moussa Niakhate is having his name booked by the referee on 75.
- 76' Jonas Hofmann has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 76 minutes.
- 77' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Danny Latza.
- 80' Ji Dongwon has so much to prove this time. He replaces Danny Latza on 80 minute.
- 83' Matthias Ginter has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 83 minutes.
- 83' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Robin Zentner.
- 84' Marcus Thuram-Ulien has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 84.
- 89' 1. FSV Mainz 05 have won 407 goals from 438 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-3 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
