Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. 1. FSV Mainz 05 kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' A quiet spell here at MEWA Arena. VfL Wolfsburg seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 475 games and scored 488 goals.
  • 15' VfL Wolfsburg come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bo Svensson might look to freshen things up shortly.

  • 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 33' What a strike from Patrick Wimmer! The score is 0-1.
  • 38' 1. FSV Mainz 05 have won 407 goals from 438 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 43' Lukas Nmecha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 5 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 48' 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 Koen Casteels suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ridle Baku.
  • 58' 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.
  • 63' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 65' The VfL Wolfsburg bench stirs into life. Felix Kalu Nmecha is withdrawn and Mattias Svanberg gets his opportunity.
  • 70' Maximilian Arnold has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 70 minutes.
  • 71' Jonathan Burkardt has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marcus Ingvartsen on 71 minute.
  • 75' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Anton Stach.
  • 76' Anton Stach has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 76.
  • 76' VfL Wolfsburg make a change. Patrick Wimmer trudges off to be replaced by Kilian Fischer on 76 minutes.
  • 78' 1. FSV Mainz 05 ring the changes. Anthony Caci has done his job and it is now time for Angelo Fulgini to step up.
  • 81' A moment of madness from Bo Svensson on 81 minutes earns him a Yellow card. 1. FSV Mainz 05 will be frustrated.
  • 84' Aymen Barkok has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lee Jaesung on 84 minute.
  • 84' The deadlock is broken! Ridle Baku gets on the scoresheet on 84 minutes.
