Events

- 20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 25' Sven Bender has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 30' 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.
- 35' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Moussa Diaby has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' 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.

- 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
