Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at SchucoArena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Arminia Bielefeld and 1. FC Koln.
  • 5' 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 Salih Ozcan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' It looks surprising Arminia Bielefeld does not make any changes. Cebio Soukou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 17' Poor challenge from Jonas Hector. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 22' Sebastian Andersson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 27' Manuel Prietl, a Austria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Stefan Ortega Moreno made 250 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 43' The referee has no hesitation. Rafael Czichos is booked for 1. FC Koln — Yellow card on 43.
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Fabian Klos.
  • 46' Another change for 1. FC Koln made on 46 minute. Jonas Hector leaves to be changed by Dominick Drexler.
  • 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Arminia Bielefeld and 1. FC Koln are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 56' It’s high time Markus Gisdol made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 61' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 62' The supporters are chanting for Dimitris Limnios. He replaces Jan Thielmann on 62 minute.
  • 67' The travelling 1. FC Koln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' Sergio Cordova makes way for Joan Simun Edmundsson at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from DSC Arminia Bielefeld.
  • 73' The whistle greets Ritsu Doan as he departs to be replaced by Sven Schipplock.
  • 75' Fresh legs for 1. FC Koln! Salih Ozcan comes on to replace Ondrej Duda.
  • 76' Another substitution for 1. FC Koln to replace Sebastian Andersson by Toluwalas Arokodare on 76 minute.
  • 78' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Joan Simun Edmundsson makes it 0-1.
  • 83' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 87' Another substitution for 1. FC Koln to replace Elvis Rexhbecaj by Frederik Sorensen on 87 minute.
  • 88' Fabian Kunze is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marcel Hartel at the 88 minute mark.
  • 89' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Cebio Soukou.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Frederik Sorensen is booked for 1. FC Koln — Yellow card on 90.
  • 1. FC Koln will have plenty to reflect on. Arminia Bielefeld were simply the better side today.
