Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Stadion im Borussia-Park will turn into a battlefield for Borussia Monchengladbach and 1. FC Nurnberg.
  • 5' Alassane Plea has been relatively quiet despite scoring 78 goals in his last 487 appearances.
  • 10' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 10 minutes.
  • 15' Borussia Monchengladbach are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against 1. FC Nurnberg's shape.
  • 19' Poor challenge from Tim Leibold. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 24' The travelling 1. FC Nurnberg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 29' Ondrej Petrak has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 9 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' That is a Yellow card for 1. FC Nurnberg. Kevin Goden will be fuming at that decision.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Stadion im Borussia-Park. 1. FC Nurnberg seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' The 31-year-old Fabian Bredlow has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 46' 1. FC Nurnberg ring the changes. Kevin Goden has done his job and it is now time for Ewerton to step up.
  • 47' Borussia Monchengladbach is taking the lead after the goal scored by Thorgan Hazard on 47.
  • 52' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 57' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 62' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FC Nurnberg that had 304 games and scored 206 goals.
  • 63' It’s a booking for Borussia Monchengladbach player. Ibrahima Traore gets a Yellow card.
  • 68' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Borussia Monchengladbach side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 73' The supporters are chanting for Edgard Salli. He replaces Virgil Misidjan on 73 minute.
  • 75' The Borussia Monchengladbach bench stirs into life. Fabian Johnson is withdrawn and Michael Lang gets his opportunity.
  • 80' Virgil Misidjan has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 81' Torless Tim Knoll is ready to make an impact after coming on for Matheus Pereira at the 81 minute mark.
  • 86' What a strike from Alassane Plea! The score is 2-0.
  • 90' The referee has no hesitation. Georg Margreitter is booked for 1. FC Nurnberg — Yellow card on 90.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 2-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
