  • 5' Luca Netz, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 8' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Martin Terrier departs to be replaced by Piero Hincapie.
  • 13' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 18' Nico Elvedi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 23' The travelling Borussia Mönchengladbach supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 28' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 32' Florian Wirtz puts Bayer 04 Leverkusen on the lead.
  • 37' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Borussia Mönchengladbach backline.
  • 42' Borussia Mönchengladbach fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 47' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' Stefan Lainer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 222 appearances.
  • 57' 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.
  • 59' Borussia Monchengladbach receives a card for a hard tackle on 59.
  • 62' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Florian Wirtz makes no mistake. 2-0!
  • 63' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen bench stirs into life. Nathan Tella is withdrawn and Jeremie Frimpong gets his opportunity.
  • 68' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 73' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ko Itakura made 275 appearances and scored 15 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 74' The Czech Republic Patrik Schick breaks the deadlock on 74 minutes. 3-0!
  • 75' Tomas Cvancara makes way for Alassane Plea at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Borussia Monchengladbach.

  • 81' A tactical swap from Borussia Monchengladbach — Fabio Chiarodia on, Rocco Reitz off on 81 minutes.
  • 86' 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 Julian Weigl suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' A change in the Borussia Monchengladbach ranks — Philipp Sander exits the field as Shio Fukuda enters on 87.
  • 90' Stefan Lainer picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
