Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds BayArena will turn into a battlefield for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Juventus FC.
- 5' Juventus FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Charles Aranguiz, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
- 15' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 20' 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 Blaise Matuidi suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 30' 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.
- 35' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bayer 04 Leverkusen that had 541 games and scored 751 goals.
- 45' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Sven Bender made 541 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 50' It’s high time Peter Bosz made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 55' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Juventus FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 60' 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.
- 65' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 65 minutes.
- 66' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Kerem Demirbay by Julian Baumgartlinger on 66 minute.
- 71' It looks surprising Juventus FC does not make any changes. Miralem Pjanic has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' What a strike from Cristiano Ronaldo! The score is 0-1.
- 80' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 82' Kevin Volland has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lucas Alario on 82 minute.
- 85' Another change for Juventus FC made on 85 minute. Adrien Rabiot leaves to be changed by Blaise Matuidi.
- 90' Simone Muratore is replacing Juan Cuadrado for the Juventus FC side.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 0-2.
