Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to BayArena that hosts another battle between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
5' 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.
10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering TSG 1899 Hoffenheim that had 407 games and scored 529 goals.
15' What a moment for Victor Boniface! That strike on 15 puts his side firmly in control.
19' Jeremie Frimpong has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 19 minutes.
24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
29' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
34' Dennis Geiger has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 34.
39' The travelling TSG 1899 Hoffenheim supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
42' A change in the Bayer 04 Leverkusen ranks — Nathan Tella exits the field as Emiliano Buendia enters on 42.
45' A moment of madness from Alejandro Grimaldo on 45 minutes earns him a card. Bayer 04 Leverkusen will be frustrated.
46' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Victor Boniface by Patrik Schick on 46 minute.
51' GOAL! Patrik Schick fires home to make it 3-0!
56' Hennes Behrens has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
60' That looks like a foul for a card for Alejandro Grimaldo.
62' The supporters are chanting for Gift Orban. He replaces Dennis Geiger on 62 minute.
63' Gift Orban does the damage! The net is bulging and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim surge ahead!
68' Mario Hermoso has so much to prove this time. He replaces Emiliano Buendia on 68 minute.
73' TSG 1899 Hoffenheim ring the changes. Robin Hranac has done his job and it is now time for David Mokwa Ntusu to step up.
78' Over 78 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
79' Poor challenge from Erencan Yardimci. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
82' The referee calls foul for Frank Frohling. He receives a card.
84' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen bench stirs into life. Florian Wirtz is withdrawn and Exequiel Palacios gets his opportunity.
89' Spain international Aleix Garcia has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
90' Bayer 04 Leverkusen receives a card for a hard tackle on 90.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will have plenty to reflect on. Bayer 04 Leverkusen were simply the better side today.
