Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: VfB Stuttgart gets underway.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 15' VfB Stuttgart is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Finn Dahmen made 438 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 23' Marcus Ingvartsen does the damage! The net is bulging and 1. FSV Mainz 05 surge ahead!
- 28' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both 1. FSV Mainz 05 and VfB Stuttgart are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anthony Caci, as he is very good at scoring at MEWA Arena with 3 goals in the last 3 games.
- 38' Anton Stach has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 41' Goal! Wataru Endo scores his 26 goal in 267 matches.
- 46' 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 Danny da Costa suffering a number of foals already.
- 51' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sebastian Hoeneß will be considering his options from the bench.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 61' That is a Yellow card for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Dominik Kohr will be fuming at that decision.
- 62' Chris Fuhrich has so much to prove this time. He replaces Tiago Tomas on 62 minute.
- 64' Sehrou Guirassy adds to his 5 season tally! VfB Stuttgart lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
- 65' Lee Jaesung gets the nod from 1. FSV Mainz 05. He replaces Aymen Barkok and will look to change the dynamic.
- 70' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 71' Konstantinos Mavropanos has so much to prove this time. He replaces Dan-Axel Zagadou on 71 minute.
- 72' The whistle greets Marcus Ingvartsen as he departs to be replaced by Ludovic Ajorque.
- 73' It’s a booking for VfB Stuttgart player. Wataru Endo gets a Yellow card.
- 75' Controversy at the stadium! Stefan Bell argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 78' GOAL! Chris Fuhrich scores on 78. Assisted by Wataru Endo
- 83' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 86' A change in the 1. FSV Mainz 05 ranks — Anthony Caci exits the field as Aaron Martin enters on 86.
- 87' A tactical swap from VfB Stuttgart — Tanguy Coulibaly on, Silas Wamangituka off on 87 minutes.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Ludovic Ajorque on 90 minutes.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for VfB Stuttgart players.
