Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! Borussia Dortmund welcome VfL Bochum 1848 for this crunch clash at Signal Iduna Park.

  • 26' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 31' Over 31 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 36' Borussia Dortmund are deployed in a 4-2-2-2 today, looking to exploit space against VfL Bochum 1848's 4-3-3 shape.
