  • 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

  • 22' The VfB Stuttgart bench stirs into life. Nicolas Gonzalez is withdrawn and Sasa Kalajdzic gets his opportunity.
  • 27' 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.
  • 31' What a strike from Kerem Demirbay! The score is 2-0.
  • 36' 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 Gregor Kobel suffering a number of foals already.

  • 61' 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.
  • 62' Philipp Klement is replacing Mateo Klimowicz for the VfB Stuttgart side.
  • 67' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Peter Bosz will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 68' A stunning finish from Florian Wirtz — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 73' Bayer 04 Leverkusen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

  • 77' Sasa Kalajdzic adds to his 1 season tally! VfB Stuttgart lead 4-2 — and this changes everything.
