Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Bayer 04 Leverkusen host TSG 1899 Hoffenheim — let the battle begin!
5' 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 Kevin Akpoguma suffering a number of foals already.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' What composure from Victor Boniface! The Nigeria international strokes it home. 1-0.
19' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Jeremie Frimpong makes it 2-0.
24' Marius Bulter has been relatively quiet despite scoring 35 goals in his last 276 appearances.
29' Bayer 04 Leverkusen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.
34' TSG 1899 Hoffenheim receives a card for a hard tackle on 34.
39' The travelling TSG 1899 Hoffenheim supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
42' It is a substitution in Bayer 04 Leverkusen team. Nathan Tella is replaced by Emiliano Buendia on 42 minute.
45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Alejandro Grimaldo on 45 minutes.
46' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Victor Boniface is replaced by Patrik Schick.
51' The deadlock is broken! Patrik Schick gets on the scoresheet on 51 minutes.
56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
60' A meaty challenge results in booking for Alejandro Grimaldo on 60.
62' Fresh legs for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim! Gift Orban comes on to replace Dennis Geiger.
63' A goal from the Nigeria international Gift Orban! He fires home on 63 to make it 3-1!
68' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen bench stirs into life. Emiliano Buendia is withdrawn and Mario Hermoso gets his opportunity.
73' Time for substitution for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Robin Hranac is replaced by David Mokwa Ntusu.
78' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 78 minutes.
79' That is a card for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Erencan Yardimci will be fuming at that decision.
82' Frank Frohling was booked on 82.
84' A change in the Bayer 04 Leverkusen ranks — Florian Wirtz exits the field as Exequiel Palacios enters on 84.
89' 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.
90' Controversy at the stadium! Aleix Garcia argues furiously but the card stands.
3-1 the final result. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will be bitterly disappointed.
