Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at BayArena!
  • 3' 1. FSV Mainz 05 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Armindo Sieb is hanging Jonathan Burkardt on the field on 3 minute.
  • 8' 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.
  • 13' 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.
  • 17' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Armindo Sieb on 17 minutes.
  • 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FSV Mainz 05 that had 447 games and scored 425 goals.
  • 27' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 32' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 37' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 3-4-2-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 42' Kaishu Sano, a Japan , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 47' 1. FSV Mainz 05 fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 48' A stunning finish from Alejandro Grimaldo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 51' 1. FSV Mainz 05 player sees a card in front of him.
  • 56' 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 Andreas Hanche-Olsen suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Bayer 04 Leverkusen and 1. FSV Mainz 05 are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 63' Nathan Tella is replacing Patrik Schick for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
  • 66' The 1. FSV Mainz 05 bench stirs into life. Jae-sung Lee is withdrawn and Hyun-seok Hong gets his opportunity.
  • 68' Anthony Caci is having his name booked by the referee on 68.
  • 69' It’s a booking for Bayer 04 Leverkusen player. Nordi Mukiele gets a card.
  • 74' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Bo Henriksen will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 79' Hyun-seok Hong has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 80' The 1. FSV Mainz 05 bench stirs into life. Philipp Mwene is withdrawn and Silvan Widmer gets his opportunity.
  • 85' It’s high time Bo Henriksen made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 87' That looks like a foul for a card for Granit Xhaka.
  • 88' Martin Terrier is replacing Florian Wirtz for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
  • 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Bo Henriksen.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
