Events

Match Events

0' Three points are at stake. Bayer 04 Leverkusen host VfB Stuttgart — let the battle begin!
5' Chris Fuhrich has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 3 goals this season.
10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Moussa Diaby is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
15' Bayer 04 Leverkusen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 15.
20' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Josha Vagnoman has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
25' Mitchel Bakker has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
30' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Moussa Diaby makes it 1-0.
35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
39' Dan-Axel Zagadou has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 39.
44' The travelling VfB Stuttgart supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
49' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
54' A quiet spell here at BayArena. VfB Stuttgart seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
59' It is a substitution in Bayer 04 Leverkusen team. Amine Adli is replaced by Adam Hlozek on 59 minute.
61' It’s a booking for VfB Stuttgart player. Chris Fuhrich gets a Yellow card.
65' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tiago Tomas.
66' Luca Pfeiffer is replacing Tiago Tomas for the VfB Stuttgart side.

74' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bayer 04 Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
79' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Xabi Alonso will be considering his options from the bench.
82' Against the run of play, Jonathan Tah has scored! This game has turned on its head.
85' The crowd applauds Chris Fuhrich as he leaves the pitch. Juan Perea steps in for VfB Stuttgart.
87' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen bench stirs into life. Moussa Diaby is withdrawn and Karim Bellarabi gets his opportunity.
90' Another change for Bayer 04 Leverkusen made on 90 minute. Jeremie Frimpong leaves to be changed by Timothy Fosu-Mensah.
90' It’s a booking for Bayer 04 Leverkusen player. Adam Hlozek gets a Yellow card.
