Events

Match Events

0' The wait is over. Bayer 04 Leverkusen get us underway at BayArena.
5' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with VfB Stuttgart winning 100% of all matches.
10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Bayer 04 Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
15' 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 Maximilian Mittelstadt suffering a number of foals already.
20' A quiet spell here at BayArena. VfB Stuttgart seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
25' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
30' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Bayer 04 Leverkusen side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
31' The referee has no hesitation. Exequiel Palacios is booked for Bayer 04 Leverkusen — card on 31.
36' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Edmond Tapsoba has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
41' The referee shows Bayer 04 Leverkusen player a card on 41.
46' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Jonathan Tah departs to be replaced by Piero Hincapie.
47' VfB Stuttgart is taking the lead after the goal scored by Chris Fuhrich on 47.
52' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
57' What a strike from Deniz Undav! The score is 0-2.
58' Robert Andrich was booked on 58.
61' What a moment for Amine Adli! That strike on 61 puts his side firmly in control.
66' VfB Stuttgart 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.
69' Poor challenge from Enzo Millot. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
70' Sebastian Hoeness was booked on 70.
74' A change in the Bayer 04 Leverkusen ranks — Patrik Schick exits the field as Victor Boniface enters on 74.
77' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Maximilian Mittelstadt on 77 minutes.
80' It is a substitution in VfB Stuttgart team. Chris Fuhrich is replaced by Silas Katompa Mvumpa on 80 minute.
81' A change in the VfB Stuttgart ranks — Leonidas Stergiou exits the field as Anthony Rouault enters on 81.
84' Poor challenge from Piero Hincapie. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
89' Fresh legs for Bayer 04 Leverkusen! Josip Stanisic comes on to replace Alejandro Grimaldo.
90' VfB Stuttgart make a change. Jamie Leweling trudges off to be replaced by Pascal Stenzel on 90 minutes.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
