Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Arminia Bielefeld gets underway.
- 5' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 10' 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.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arminia Bielefeld that had 250 games and scored 127 goals.
- 20' VfL Bochum 1848 is showing some good football. However, VfL Bochum 1848 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' It looks surprising Arminia Bielefeld does not make any changes. Timo Horn has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 27' Arminia Bielefeld is taking the lead after the goal scored by Joel Grodowski on 27.
- 27' The referee calls foul for Cajetan Lenz. He receives a card.
- 32' The travelling VfL Bochum 1848 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 42' VfL Bochum 1848 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
- 47' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with VfL Bochum 1848 winning 50% of all matches.
- 50' Callum Marshall was booked on 50.
- 55' Arminia Bielefeld seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 60' 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 Maximilian Wittek suffering a number of foals already.
- 65' It looks like no one’s ball. VfL Bochum 1848 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 70' It’s high time Uwe Rösler made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 75' VfL Bochum 1848 looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Moritz-Broni Kwarteng scoring 1 goals.

- 84' VfL Bochum 1848 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

- The final score is 1-1.
