Events
Match Events

- 9' Holstein Kiel player sees a card in front of him.
- 14' Holstein Kiel fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 19' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Niklas Sule has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 24' Borussia Dortmund are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against Holstein Kiel's 3-4-1-2 shape.
- 29' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 34' It’s high time Marcel Rapp made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 39' Phil Harres needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 44' Holstein Kiel are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.

- 56' Controversy at the stadium! Karim Adeyemi argues furiously but the card stands.
- 61' 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.
- 66' 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 Magnus Knudsen suffering a number of foals already.
- 69' Holstein Kiel manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Finn Porath is hanging Shuto Machino on the field on 69 minute.
- 71' A tactical swap from Borussia Dortmund — Carney Chukwuemeka on, Karim Adeyemi off on 71 minutes.

- 84' The 24-year-old Karim Adeyemi has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 4 assists is a remarkable return.
- 85' Julian Brandt makes way for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens at the 85 minute mark. A tactical switch from Borussia Dortmund.
- 87' A moment of madness from Jamie Bynoe-Gittens on 87 minutes earns him a card. Borussia Dortmund will be frustrated.
