Events

Match Events

  • 0' Three points are at stake. Bayer 04 Leverkusen host FC Porto — let the battle begin!
  • 5' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 6' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Wenderson Galeno makes it 0-1.
  • 11' Bayer 04 Leverkusen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 11.
  • 14' That is a Yellow card for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Mitchel Bakker will be fuming at that decision.
  • 17' Sergio Conceicao picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 22' Supporters expect more eagerness from Danny Loader, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 27' Bayer 04 Leverkusen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 32' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Joao Mario Lopes.
  • 35' What a strike from Amine Adli! The score is 1-1.
  • 40' 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.
  • 45' Over 45 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 46' Evanilson has so much to prove this time. He replaces Joao Mario Lopes on 46 minute.
  • 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Porto that had 503 games and scored 720 goals.
  • 53' Mehdi Taremi puts FC Porto on the lead.
  • 57' A tactical swap from Bayer 04 Leverkusen — Paulinho on, Amine Adli off on 57 minutes.
  • 62' 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 David Carmo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' A moment of madness from Odilon Kossounou on 63 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Bayer 04 Leverkusen will be frustrated.
  • 64' Goal! Mehdi Taremi scores his 114 goal in 10 matches.
  • 64' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Piero Hincapie.
  • 69' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Callum Hudson-Odoi is replaced by Adam Hlozek.
  • 74' The 32-year-old Fabio Cardoso has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 79' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Bayer 04 Leverkusen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 84' Controversy at the stadium! Paulinho argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 85' The whistle greets Wenderson Galeno as he departs to be replaced by Goncalo Borges.
  • 88' The whistle greets Moussa Diaby as he departs to be replaced by Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
  • 90' The FC Porto manager makes a substitution. Mehdi Taremi departs to be replaced by Danny Loader.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Goncalo Borges on 90 minutes.
  • Another three points for FC Porto.
