Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds BayArena will turn into a battlefield for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Holstein Kiel.
- 4' Goal! Victor Boniface scores his 54 goal in 61 matches.
- 8' GOAL! Jonas Hofmann scores on 8. Assisted by Exequiel Palacios
- 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 18' Bayer 04 Leverkusen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 23' 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.
- 28' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 33' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 33 minutes.
- 38' The travelling Holstein Kiel supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

- 46' Jann-Fiete Arp is replacing Shuto Machino for the Holstein Kiel side.
- 50' What a strike from Max Geschwill! The score is 2-1.
- 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 60' The referee calls foul for Magnus Knudsen. He receives a card.
- 60' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Jonas Hofmann is replaced by Martin Terrier.

- 82' Supporters expect more eagerness from Steven Skrzybski, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
