Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at BayArena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 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 Lukas Hradecky suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Karim Onisiwo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 11' Controversy at the stadium! Jonathan Tah argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 16' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FSV Mainz 05 needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 21' 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.
  • 26' 1. FSV Mainz 05 is showing some good football. However, 1. FSV Mainz 05 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 31' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 36' Lee Jaesung has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 290 appearances.
  • 41' Bayer 04 Leverkusen 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.
  • 44' Moussa Diaby has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 44.
  • 49' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Bayer 04 Leverkusen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 54' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against 1. FSV Mainz 05's shape.
  • 59' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 61' Amine Adli is ready to make an impact after coming on for Karim Bellarabi at the 61 minute mark.
  • 62' What composure from Florian Wirtz! The Germany international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 66' Time for substitution for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Leandro Barreiro Martins is replaced by Anton Stach.
  • 69' It’s a booking for 1. FSV Mainz 05 player. Anton Stach gets a Yellow card.
  • 74' Marcus Ingvartsen needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 17 Yellow cards this season.
  • 75' The 1. FSV Mainz 05 manager makes a substitution. Dominik Kohr departs to be replaced by Lee Jaesung.
  • 80' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Bayer 04 Leverkusen winning 100% of all matches.
  • 82' Fresh legs for Bayer 04 Leverkusen! Lucas Alario comes on to replace Patrik Schick.
  • 84' The referee calls foul for Mitchel Bakker. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 86' That is a Yellow card for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Lee Jaesung will be fuming at that decision.
  • 90' 1. FSV Mainz 05 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paul Nebel is hanging Stefan Bell on the field on 90 minute.
  • 90' Bayer 04 Leverkusen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
