Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. 1. FC Union Berlin kicks off things out of here…
- 5' Borussia Dortmund are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against 1. FC Union Berlin's 4-2-3-1 shape.
- 10' Danilho Doekhi has been relatively quiet despite scoring 14 goals in his last 282 appearances.
- 15' Jeong Wooyeong is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for 1. FC Union Berlin so far.
- 17' The referee calls foul for Rani Khedira. He receives a card.
- 22' The 34-year-old Frederik Ronnow has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 25' What a strike from Diogo Leite! The score is 0-1.
- 30' 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.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Marcel Sabitzer made 528 appearances and scored 51 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Sehrou Guirassy makes it 1-1.
- 45' 1. FC Union Berlin come into this ranked 13 in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
- 49' That looks like a foul for a card for Ramy Bensebaini.
- 54' Borussia Dortmund are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Union Berlin backline.
- 55' Lucas Tousart is having his name booked by the referee on 55.
- 57' The crowd applauds Rani Khedira as he leaves the pitch. Laszlo Benes steps in for 1. FC Union Berlin.
- 58' The referee calls foul for Gio Reyna. He receives a card.
- 63' 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 Andras Schafer suffering a number of foals already.
- 68' It is a cagey affair so far. Borussia Dortmund in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past 1. FC Union Berlin's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 69' Another substitution for Borussia Dortmund to replace Gio Reyna by Carney Chukwuemeka on 69 minute.
- 70' A tactical swap from Borussia Dortmund — Daniel Svensson on, Ramy Bensebaini off on 70 minutes.
- 72' Another substitution for 1. FC Union Berlin to replace Benedict Hollerbach by Marin Ljubicic on 72 minute.
- 75' GOAL! Sehrou Guirassy scores on 75. Assisted by Pascal Gross
- 80' Sehrou Guirassy makes no mistake. The score reads 3-1 and Borussia Dortmund are in front.
- 82' The whistle greets Andras Schafer as he departs to be replaced by Leopold Querfeld.
- 83' Sehrou Guirassy adds to his 13 season tally! Borussia Dortmund lead 4-1 — and this changes everything.
- 85' Salih Ozcan is replacing Marcel Sabitzer for the Borussia Dortmund side.
- 89' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Maximilian Beier makes it 5-1.
- 6-0 the final result. 1. FC Union Berlin will be bitterly disappointed.
