Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at MEWA Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Eintracht Frankfurt.
- 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 9' What composure from Can Uzun! The Turkey international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 14' Austria international Stefan Posch has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 19' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are deployed in a 3-1-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Eintracht Frankfurt's 3-4-2-1 shape.
- 24' Eintracht Frankfurt come into this ranked 14 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 29' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 34' Timmy Chandler has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 39' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ritsu Doan made 315 appearances and scored 55 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 41' Raphael Onyedika has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 41.
- 42' That is a card for Eintracht Frankfurt. Raphael Onyedika will be fuming at that decision.
- 46' Jonathan Burkardt does the damage! The net is bulging and Eintracht Frankfurt surge ahead!
- 46' It is a substitution in 1. FSV Mainz 05 team. Jae-sung Lee is replaced by Ransford Konigsdorffer on 46 minute.
- 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 56' It looks surprising 1. FSV Mainz 05 does not make any changes. Noel Aseko Nkili has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 58' Mario Gotze is ready to make an impact after coming on for Noel Aseko Nkili at the 58 minute mark.
- 59' Mario Gotze is ready to make an impact after coming on for Noel Aseko Nkili at the 59 minute mark.
- 60' Can Uzun adds to his 4 season tally! Eintracht Frankfurt lead 0-3 — and this changes everything.
- 62' It is a substitution in 1. FSV Mainz 05 team. Anthony Caci is replaced by Danny da Costa on 62 minute.
- 67' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Eintracht Frankfurt winning 100% of all matches.
- 70' Mario Gotze is having his name booked by the referee on 70.
- 74' The Eintracht Frankfurt bench stirs into life. Jonathan Burkardt is withdrawn and Younes Ebnoutalib gets his opportunity.
- 79' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 79 minutes.
- 84' 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 Philipp Mwene suffering a number of foals already.
- 85' Otto Ruoppi is replacing Nadiem Amiri for the 1. FSV Mainz 05 side.
- 87' Can Uzun makes way for Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab at the 87 minute mark. A tactical switch from Eintracht Frankfurt.
- 89' Against the run of play, Phillip Tietz has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
