  • 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 14' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Lukas Kubler.
  • 19' 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.
  • 24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 29' 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 Piero Hincapie suffering a number of foals already.
  • 34' Alejandro Grimaldo is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for SC Freiburg tonight.
  • 36' GOAL! Florian Wirtz scores on 36.
  • 41' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SC Freiburg that had 503 games and scored 494 goals.
  • 46' SC Freiburg are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 51' SC Freiburg fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.

  • 67' Fresh legs for SC Freiburg! Manuel Gulde comes on to replace Philipp Lienhart.
  • 70' GOAL! Manuel Gulde fires home to make it 1-2!
  • 75' 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.
  • 80' Jonas Hofmann has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
  • 81' Noah Weisshaupt is ready to make an impact after coming on for Vincenzo Grifo at the 81 minute mark.
  • 85' It is a substitution in Bayer 04 Leverkusen team. Jonas Hofmann is replaced by Amine Adli on 85 minute.
  • 90' Florian Wirtz makes way for Adam Hlozek at the 90 minute mark. A tactical switch from Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
  • 90' Christian Streich picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
