Events
Match Events
- 0' What a night it is going to be! Borussia Dortmund welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach for this crunch clash at Signal Iduna Park.
- 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 10' 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.
- 15' 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 Thorgan Hazard suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Jadon Sancho has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 25' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
- 30' Borussia Dortmund seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 34' The crowd applauds Paco Alcacer as he leaves the pitch. Mario Gotze steps in for BV Borussia 09 Dortmund.
- 39' Borussia Mönchengladbach is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 42' Assisted by Mario Gotze with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jadon Sancho makes no mistake. 0-1!
- 45' A stunning finish from Christoph Kramer — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 46' A goal from the Germany international Christoph Kramer! He fires home on 45 to make it 0-3!
- 51' Borussia Dortmund are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 54' GOAL! Marco Reus fires home to make it 0-4!
- 59' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Borussia Mönchengladbach needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 64' Borussia Mönchengladbach have won 522 goals from 484 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 68' Jonas Hofmann is replacing Christoph Kramer for the Borussia Monchengladbach side.
- 73' Time for substitution for Borussia Monchengladbach. Patrick Herrmann is replaced by Ibrahima Traore.
- 78' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Florian Neuhaus made 484 appearances and scored 31 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 82' Mickael Cuisance has so much to prove this time. He replaces Florian Neuhaus on 82 minute.
- 86' It’s a booking for Borussia Monchengladbach player. Mickael Cuisance gets a Yellow card.
