Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to MEWA Arena that hosts another battle between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and SC Freiburg.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FSV Mainz 05 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Paul Nebel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Freiburg tonight.
  • 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Urs Fischer will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 20' The 20-year-old Ifechukwu Ogbus has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 30' 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.
  • 33' The referee calls foul for Ifechukwu Ogbus. He receives a card.
  • 38' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FSV Mainz 05 in their 3-1-4-2 trying to find a way past SC Freiburg's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 43' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a card for Maximilian Eggestein.
  • 46' The referee shows SC Freiburg player a card on 46.
  • 46' Ifechukwu Ogbus makes way for Philipp Lienhart at the 46 minute mark. A tactical switch from SC Freiburg.
  • 47' Against the run of play, Lucas Holer has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 52' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 55' The referee shows 1. FSV Mainz 05 player a card on 55.
  • 60' 1. FSV Mainz 05 currently sit 9 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 62' Another change for 1. FSV Mainz 05 made on 62 minute. Sota Kawasaki leaves to be changed by Nadiem Amiri.
  • 64' Jan-Niklas Beste is ready to make an impact after coming on for Cyriaque Irie at the 64 minute mark.
  • 69' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 73' Controversy at the stadium! Lucas Holer argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 74' The 1. FSV Mainz 05 manager makes a substitution. Paul Nebel departs to be replaced by Armindo Sieb.
  • 79' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 79 minutes.
  • 83' SC Freiburg make a change. Matthias Ginter trudges off to be replaced by Jordy Makengo on 83 minutes.
  • 88' The travelling SC Freiburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 1. FSV Mainz 05 will have plenty to reflect on. SC Freiburg were simply the better side today.
