Match Events

  • 0' The referee blows the starting whistle. The fans are roaring. The teams are ready for the match. Borussia Mönchengladbach is hosting Borussia Dortmund for another epic battle.
  • 5' The Borussia Dortmund bench stirs into life. Raphael Guerreiro is withdrawn and Nico Schulz gets his opportunity.
  • 10' Borussia Mönchengladbach are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Borussia Dortmund's shape.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Mönchengladbach that had 479 games and scored 511 goals.
  • 20' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 29' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Mahmoud Dahoud on 29 minutes.
  • 32' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Lars Stindl.
  • 37' 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 Christoph Kramer suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' The 26-year-old Mateu Morey has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 47' Borussia Mönchengladbach is showing some good football. However, Borussia Mönchengladbach are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 50' A moment of madness from Marco Reus on 50 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Borussia Dortmund will be frustrated.
  • 55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Edin Terzic will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' Borussia Mönchengladbach are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Borussia Dortmund backline.
  • 65' 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' GOAL! Jadon Sancho scores on 66. Assisted by Marco Reus
  • 68' Jadon Sancho makes way for Thorgan Hazard at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from Borussia Dortmund.

  • 76' Breel Embolo is replacing Marcus Thuram-Ulien for the Borussia Monchengladbach side.
  • 81' Both keepers have barely been tested. Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 86' The travelling Borussia Dortmund supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Jude Bellingham as he leaves the pitch. Dan-Axel Zagadou steps in for Borussia Dortmund.
  • 90' Mahmoud Dahoud has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Red card on 90.
  • It finishes all square. Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund share the spoils 0-1.
