Match Events

0' The game is set. Bayer 04 Leverkusen kicks off things out of here…
5' It’s high time Peter Bosz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
10' 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.
15' Bayer 04 Leverkusen 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. Leon Bailey made 541 appearances and scored 45 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Eduard Lowen, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
30' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
34' The supporters are chanting for Lucas Alario. He replaces Leon Bailey on 34 minute.
39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
44' 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 Jonathan Tah suffering a number of foals already.
49' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
54' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Christian Mathenia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
59' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is showing some good football. However, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
61' GOAL! Lucas Alario scores on 61. Assisted by Julian Brandt
62' The supporters are chanting for Virgil Misidjan. He replaces Sebastian Kerk on 62 minute.
67' 1. FC Nurnberg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 67.
72' 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.
75' 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Timothy Tillman is hanging Mikael Ishak on the field on 75 minute.
79' 1. FC Nurnberg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Georg Margreitter is hanging Ewerton on the field on 79 minute.
84' The travelling 1. FC Nurnberg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
86' GOAL! Kevin Volland scores on 86. Assisted by Lucas Alario
87' Dominik Kohr is replacing Kai Havertz for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
90' Paulinho has so much to prove this time. He replaces Julian Brandt on 90 minute.
Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Bayer 04 Leverkusen players.
