Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Signal Iduna Park will turn into a battlefield for Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld.
- 5' 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.
- 10' The travelling Arminia Bielefeld supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 15' Arminia Bielefeld are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 20' It looks like no one’s ball. Arminia Bielefeld is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 25' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 35' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arminia Bielefeld that had 262 games and scored 146 goals.
- 40' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 45' 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 Masaya Okugawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 48' Goal! Mahmoud Dahoud scores his 8 goal in 536 matches.
- 53' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 57' That is a Yellow card for Arminia Bielefeld. Amos Pieper will be fuming at that decision.
- 58' A stunning finish from Jadon Sancho — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 62' Sven Schipplock gets the nod from Arminia Bielefeld. He replaces Sergio Cordova and will look to change the dynamic.
- 67' Sven Schipplock, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 70' Borussia Dortmund make a change. Gio Reyna trudges off to be replaced by Thorgan Hazard on 70 minutes.
- 71' A meaty challenge results in booking for Fabian Kunze on 71.
- 75' Time for substitution for Arminia Bielefeld. Ritsu Doan is replaced by Masaya Okugawa.
- 80' Borussia Dortmund ring the changes. Mateu Morey has done his job and it is now time for Thomas Meunier to step up.
- 81' Reinier makes no mistake. The score reads 3-0 and Borussia Dortmund are in front.
- 83' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Manuel Prietl.
- 85' It is a substitution in Borussia Dortmund team. Mahmoud Dahoud is replaced by Julian Brandt on 85 minute.
- 90' Borussia Dortmund is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Borussia Dortmund players.
