Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Internazionale Milano is underway.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Piotr Zielinski, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' FC Internazionale Milano 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.
- 15' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Lautaro Martinez has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' FC Internazionale Milano is showing some good football. However, FC Internazionale Milano are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 25' FC Internazionale Milano receives a card for a hard tackle on 25.
- 27' That looks like a foul for a card for Carlos Augusto Lobaton.
- 32' 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.
- 37' Florian Wirtz needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 26 Yellow cards this season.
- 42' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Granit Xhaka made 414 appearances and scored 32 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 47' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bayer 04 Leverkusen that had 541 games and scored 751 goals.
- 52' 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.
- 56' Time for substitution for FC Internazionale Milano. Carlos Augusto Lobaton is replaced by Federico Dimarco.
- 61' It looks like no one’s ball. Bayer 04 Leverkusen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 66' The whistle greets Hakan Calhanoglu as he departs to be replaced by Kristjan Asllani.
- 71' FC Internazionale Milano is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 76' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 81' Bayer 04 Leverkusen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 81.
- 83' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Nathan Tella by Martin Terrier on 83 minute.
- 85' Time for substitution for FC Internazionale Milano. Mehdi Taremi is replaced by Marko Arnautovic.
- 90' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Nordi Mukiele on 90.
- 90' The whistle greets Alejandro Grimaldo as he departs to be replaced by Aleix Garcia.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Bayer 04 Leverkusen players.
