30' GOAL! Dan-Axel Zagadou fires home to make it 0-1!
35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Julian Weigl made 521 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
37' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Kevin Volland makes it 0-2.
38' Magnificent from Jadon Sancho! That is 71 goals in 521 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.

88' The energy levels are beginning to show. Lucien Favre might look to freshen things up shortly.
