Events

Match Events

  • 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 30' 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 Eric Martel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 40' With 0 assists to his name this season, Dejan Ljubicic is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Borussia Dortmund.

  • 75' It looks surprising 1. FC Köln does not make any changes. Donyell Malen has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 80' The 28-year-old Julian Ryerson has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
