Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and Borussia Dortmund launch into their encounter with 1. FC Koln.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Elvis Rexhbecaj made 471 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 9' A stunning finish from Ellyes Skhiri — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 14' Marco Reus has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
  • 19' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 24' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.

  • 34' Borussia Dortmund has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 39' 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.
  • 44' 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.
  • 49' Over 49 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 54' Emre Can catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 54.
  • 59' The 32-year-old Emre Can has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' Magnificent from Ellyes Skhiri! That is 28 goals in 417 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 61' Thomas Meunier makes way for Thorgan Hazard at the 61 minute mark. A tactical switch from BV Borussia 09 Dortmund.
  • 66' Jannes-Kilian Horn gets the nod from 1. FC Koln. He replaces Rafael Czichos and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 67' The BV Borussia 09 Dortmund bench stirs into life. Felix Passlack is withdrawn and Gio Reyna gets his opportunity.
  • 68' A change in the BV Borussia 09 Dortmund ranks — Julian Brandt exits the field as Youssoufa Moukoko enters on 68.
  • 73' Borussia Dortmund currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 74' A goal from the Belgium international Thorgan Hazard! He fires home on 74 to make it 0-3!
  • 75' 1. FC Koln manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Dominick Drexler is hanging Elvis Rexhbecaj on the field on 75 minute.
  • 80' Borussia Dortmund are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 85' 1. FC Koln started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 85.
