Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds will turn into a battlefield for Bayer 04 Leverkusen and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

  • 49' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Vincenzo Grifo makes no mistake. 1-3!
  • 54' Ermin Bicakcic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 3 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
