Events

Match Events

  • 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at BayArena!
  • 5' The travelling VfB Stuttgart supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 10' VfB Stuttgart fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' It looks like no one’s ball. VfB Stuttgart is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 25' VfB Stuttgart has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Chris Fuhrich made 398 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Edmond Tapsoba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bayer 04 Leverkusen that had 541 games and scored 751 goals.
  • 41' Goal! Moussa Diaby scores his 63 goal in 520 matches.
  • 45' The referee shows Bayer 04 Leverkusen player a Yellow card on 45.
  • 49' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Tiago Tomas makes it 1-1.
  • 51' The referee shows VfB Stuttgart player a Yellow card on 51.
  • 52' Amine Adli does the damage! The net is bulging and Bayer 04 Leverkusen surge ahead!
  • 57' 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 Tanguy Coulibaly suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' Time for substitution for VfB Stuttgart. Silas Wamangituka Fundu is replaced by Alexis Tibidi.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Robert Andrich.
  • 68' VfB Stuttgart is showing some good football. However, VfB Stuttgart are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 70' Bayer 04 Leverkusen make a change. Kerem Demirbay trudges off to be replaced by Exequiel Palacios on 70 minutes.
  • 71' Another substitution for VfB Stuttgart to replace Wataru Endo by Tanguy Coulibaly on 71 minute.
  • 74' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Amine Adli departs to be replaced by Paulinho.
  • 79' The 36-year-old Lukas Hradecky has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 83' Poor challenge from Mitchel Bakker. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 85' Mateo Klimowicz is ready to make an impact after coming on for Pascal Stenzel at the 85 minute mark.
  • 86' Magnificent from Florian Wirtz! That is 62 goals in 541 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 88' The deadlock is broken! Tiago Tomas gets on the scoresheet on 88 minutes.
  • 89' What composure from Patrik Schick! The Czech Republic international strokes it home. 4-2.
  • 90' Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Lucas Alario is hanging Moussa Diaby on the field on 90 minute.
  • 90' A moment of madness from Konstantinos Mavropanos on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. VfB Stuttgart will be frustrated.
  • 4-2 the final result. VfB Stuttgart will be bitterly disappointed.
