Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Signal Iduna Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 10' 1. FC Union Berlin is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 15' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 20' Jude Bellingham is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Borussia Dortmund so far.
  • 25' 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.
  • 27' Marco Reus adds to his 3 season tally! Borussia Dortmund lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Christopher Lenz, as he is very good at scoring at Signal Iduna Park with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 42' Thorgan Hazard has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.

  • 48' A meaty challenge results in booking for Robin Knoche on 48.
  • 53' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Keita Endo made 302 appearances and scored 26 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 58' Marius Bulter gets the nod from 1. FC Union Berlin. He replaces Keita Endo and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 69' Jude Bellingham was booked on 69.
  • 72' Mats Hummels catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 72.
  • 73' 1. FC Union Berlin manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Joel Pohjanpalo is hanging Petar Musa on the field on 73 minute.
  • 76' A tactical swap from Borussia Dortmund — Julian Brandt on, Gio Reyna off on 76 minutes.
  • 80' Fresh legs for 1. FC Union Berlin! Christian Gentner comes on to replace Grischa Promel.
  • 85' 1. FC Union Berlin have won 363 goals from 435 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
