  • 17' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Maximilian Arnold on 17 minutes.
  • 22' VfL Wolfsburg are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 27' Daniel Ginczek needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 32' The 31-year-old Manuel Akanji has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 37' The energy levels are beginning to show. Bruno Labbadia might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 42' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 47' VfL Wolfsburg come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 49' BV Borussia 09 Dortmund manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Achraf Hakimi is hanging Abdou Diallo on the field on 49 minute.
  • 54' 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.

  • 81' The BV Borussia 09 Dortmund bench stirs into life. Mario Gotze is withdrawn and Mahmoud Dahoud gets his opportunity.
  • 86' 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 Mario Gotze suffering a number of foals already.
  • 90' Paco Alcacer puts BV Borussia 09 Dortmund on the lead.
  • 90' The referee shows VfL Wolfsburg player a Yellow card on 90.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Borussia Dortmund players.
