Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Bayer 04 Leverkusen gets underway.
- 5' What a strike from Erling Haaland! The score is 1-0.
- 10' Demarai Gray has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Borussia Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 20' Borussia Dortmund is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' 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 Emrehan Gedikli suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' With 0 assists to his name this season, Mahmoud Dahoud is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
- 35' Borussia Dortmund are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bayer 04 Leverkusen backline.
- 40' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Aleksandar Dragovic made 556 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 45' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Jude Bellingham. He replaces Mahmoud Dahoud on 46 minute.
- 51' The deadlock is broken! Marco Reus gets on the scoresheet on 51 minutes.
- 56' Jonathan Tah has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 61' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 63' The Borussia Dortmund bench stirs into life. Marco Reus is withdrawn and Jadon Sancho gets his opportunity.
- 66' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Florian Wirtz departs to be replaced by Patrik Schick.
- 67' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Florian Wirtz by Patrik Schick on 67 minute.
- 72' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 73' Another change for Bayer 04 Leverkusen made on 73 minute. Karim Bellarabi leaves to be changed by Moussa Diaby.
- 75' Borussia Dortmund make a change. Lukasz Piszczek trudges off to be replaced by Felix Passlack on 75 minutes.
- 79' It is a substitution in Borussia Dortmund team. Reinier is replaced by Gio Reyna on 79 minute.

- 84' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Erling Haaland makes no mistake. 3-0!
- 89' It is a substitution in Bayer 04 Leverkusen team. Charles Aranguiz is replaced by Julian Baumgartlinger on 89 minute.
- 89' Lars Bender makes no mistake. The score reads 3-1 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in front.
- 90' A tactical swap from Bayer 04 Leverkusen — Julian Baumgartlinger on, Charles Aranguiz off on 90 minutes.
