Match Events
- 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Bayer 04 Leverkusen is hosting Molde FK for another epic battle.
- 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 6' GOAL! Patrik Schick scores on 6. Assisted by Robert Andrich
- 11' It’s high time Xabi Alonso made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 16' Anders Hagelskjaer has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Eric Bugale Kitolano made 83 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 22' What a strike from Edmond Tapsoba! The score is 2-0.
- 25' What a strike from Martin Ellingsen! The score is 2-1.
- 30' Molde FK is showing some good football. However, Molde FK are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 35' 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 Leon-Robin Juberg-Hovland suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 42' It’s gonna be a card for Jonathan Tah.
- 46' Molde FK manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Martin Bjornbak is hanging Markus Kaasa on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Markus Kaasa has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
- 59' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Jonathan Tah is replaced by Alejandro Grimaldo.
- 60' Goal! Adam Hlozek scores his 18 goal in 46 matches.
- 65' Supporters expect more eagerness from Niklas Odegard, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 70' Goal! Adam Hlozek scores his 18 goal in 46 matches.
- 71' The whistle greets Magnus Grodem as he departs to be replaced by Niklas Odegard.
- 75' GOAL! Eric Bugale Kitolano scores on 75. Assisted by Martin Ellingsen
- 77' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Edmond Tapsoba is replaced by Ken Izekor.
- 78' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alejandro Grimaldo on 78.
- 83' The travelling Molde FK supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 85' Leon-Robin Juberg-Hovland has so much to prove this time. He replaces Eric Bugale Kitolano on 85 minute.
- 90' It looks like no one’s ball. Molde FK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Molde FK.
