Events

Match Events

  • 0' That's the starting whistle at BayArena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Schalke 04.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' FC Schalke 04 have won 319 goals from 411 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 13' Maya Yoshida is having his name booked by the referee on 13.
  • 18' With 0 assists to his name this season, Maya Yoshida is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
  • 23' Alex Kral has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 167 appearances.
  • 28' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Xabi Alonso will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 33' Leo Greiml has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 38' Moussa Diaby has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 38 minutes.
  • 41' What composure from Jeremie Frimpong! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 2-0.
  • 46' Time for substitution for FC Schalke 04. Tobias Mohr is replaced by Thomas Ouwejan.
  • 51' The home supporters are growing impatient. Bayer 04 Leverkusen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 53' The Netherlands Jeremie Frimpong breaks the deadlock on 53 minutes. 3-0!
  • 58' The referee calls foul for Piero Hincapie. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 63' 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 Dominick Drexler suffering a number of foals already.
  • 64' Another substitution for FC Schalke 04 to replace Dominick Drexler by Florent Mollet on 64 minute.
  • 69' Lukas Hradecky has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 6 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 72' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Patrik Schick by Adam Hlozek on 72 minute.
  • 77' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC Schalke 04 are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 79' It is a substitution in FC Schalke 04 team. Maya Yoshida is replaced by Danny Latza on 79 minute.
  • 84' The travelling FC Schalke 04 supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 88' Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Odilon Kossounou is hanging Piero Hincapie on the field on 88 minute.
  • 90' Paulinho adds to his 3 season tally! Bayer 04 Leverkusen lead 4-0 — and this changes everything.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Bayer 04 Leverkusen players.
