Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to BayArena that hosts another battle between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Rangers FC.
  • 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Rangers FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 10' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 14' Bayer 04 Leverkusen player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 15' Charles Aranguiz is having his name booked by the referee on 15.
  • 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.
  • 45' The referee calls foul for Daley Sinkgraven. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 50' Nathan Patterson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 51' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Moussa Diaby on 51.
  • 53' Brandon Barker was booked on 53.
  • 58' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 60' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Brandon Barker by Ianis Hagi on 60 minute.

  • 67' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ianis Hagi.
  • 68' Julian Baumgartlinger is replacing Florian Wirtz for the Bayer 04 Leverkusen side.
  • 73' 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 Exequiel Palacios suffering a number of foals already.
  • 77' The whistle greets Sven Bender as he departs to be replaced by Jonathan Tah.
  • 82' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
