Match Events

  • 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 8' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Martin Terrier departs to be replaced by Piero Hincapie.
  • 13' Stefan Lainer is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Bayer 04 Leverkusen so far.

  • 32' GOAL! Florian Wirtz fires home to make it 1-0!
  • 37' Borussia Monchengladbach is showing some good football. However, Borussia Monchengladbach are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 42' Borussia Monchengladbach fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 47' 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 Alassane Plea suffering a number of foals already.
  • 52' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bayer 04 Leverkusen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 68' Arthur Augusto needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 73' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 74' A stunning finish from Patrik Schick — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 75' It is a substitution in Borussia Monchengladbach team. Tomas Cvancara is replaced by Alassane Plea on 75 minute.
  • 80' It looks surprising Borussia Monchengladbach does not make any changes. Julian Weigl has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 81' Fabio Chiarodia is ready to make an impact after coming on for Rocco Reitz at the 81 minute mark.
  • 86' Borussia Monchengladbach 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.
  • 87' Borussia Monchengladbach manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Shio Fukuda is hanging Philipp Sander on the field on 87 minute.
  • 90' Stefan Lainer is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
