Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Bayer 04 Leverkusen kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Julian Weigl has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 70 cards already picked up this season.
  • 10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 15' Over 15 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 20' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Borussia Dortmund side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 25' Borussia Dortmund are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bayer 04 Leverkusen backline.
  • 30' What a strike from Dan-Axel Zagadou! The score is 0-1.
  • 35' It’s high time Lucien Favre made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 37' Goal! Kevin Volland scores his 66 goal in 541 matches.
  • 38' Assisted by Abdou Diallo with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jadon Sancho makes no mistake. 0-3!
  • 43' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 48' Jonathan Tah has been relatively quiet despite scoring 18 goals in his last 166 appearances.
  • 53' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 58' It looks surprising Bayer 04 Leverkusen does not make any changes. Kai Havertz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 59' That is a Yellow card for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Tin Jedvaj will be fuming at that decision.
  • 60' Mario Gotze has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 60 minutes.
  • 65' Belgium international Axel Witsel has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 70' Leon Bailey makes way for Lucas Alario at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
  • 74' Raphael Guerreiro picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 75' Against the run of play, Jonathan Tah has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 76' Raphael Guerreiro makes way for Jacob Bruun Larsen at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from BV Borussia 09 Dortmund.
  • 81' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mahmoud Dahoud made 521 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 83' BV Borussia 09 Dortmund manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mahmoud Dahoud is hanging Mario Gotze on the field on 83 minute.
  • 88' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 90' Jonathan Tah has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • 90' It is a substitution in BV Borussia 09 Dortmund team. Paco Alcacer is replaced by Marius Wolf on 90 minute.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Borussia Dortmund take all three points.
