Match Events

- 5' The travelling Hamburger SV supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' It’s high time Merlin Polzin made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' 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.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Hamburger SV that had 268 games and scored 203 goals.
- 24' That looks like a foul for a card for Jordan Torunarigha.
- 29' Bayer 04 Leverkusen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Jarell Quansah scoring 1 goals.
- 34' Malik Tillman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 58 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 39' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 44' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 44 minutes.
- 49' Hamburger SV started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 49.
- 54' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Bayer 04 Leverkusen winning 50% of all matches.
- 59' 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.
- 61' What a strike from Fabio Vieira! The score is 0-1.
- 66' The referee shows Bayer 04 Leverkusen player a card on 66.
- 71' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Edmond Tapsoba made 393 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 76' Luka Vuskovic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Nicolas Capaldo on 78.
- 78' Goal! Jarell Quansah scores his 5 goal in 291 matches.
- 79' Sensational shot from Jarell Quansah. Bayer 04 Leverkusen is back in the lead.
- 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.
- 89' 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 Sander Tangvik suffering a number of foals already.
- The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
