Events
Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Schalke 04 is underway.
- 5' 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 Charles Aranguiz suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
- 13' A meaty challenge results in booking for Maya Yoshida on 13.
- 18' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 23' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 28' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. FC Schalke 04 needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 33' 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.

- 79' The supporters are chanting for Danny Latza. He replaces Maya Yoshida on 79 minute.
- 84' 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.
