Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at BayArena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Bayer 04 Leverkusen currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' FC Schalke 04 are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 15' Lucas Alario makes no mistake. The score reads 1-0 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in front.
  • 20' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 25' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Schalke 04 backline.
  • 29' Controversy at the stadium! Daniel Caligiuri argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 34' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 39' Mark Uth has been relatively quiet despite scoring 22 goals in his last 408 appearances.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Wendell.
  • 48' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 48 minutes.
  • 53' The referee calls foul for Benito Raman. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 58' Bayer 04 Leverkusen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 58.
  • 60' Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Moussa Diaby is hanging Leon Bailey on the field on 60 minute.
  • 65' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 70' It is a substitution in FC Schalke 04 team. Guido Burgstaller is replaced by Ahmed Kutucu on 70 minute.
  • 71' Nadiem Amiri gets the nod from Bayer 04 Leverkusen. He replaces Kai Havertz and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 76' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
