Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds WWK Arena will turn into a battlefield for FC Augsburg and 1. FSV Mainz 05.
- 5' Stefan Bell has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 6' What composure from Ludovic Ajorque! The France international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 10' What a strike from Stefan Bell! The score is 0-2.
- 15' Magnificent from Ermedin Demirovic! That is 60 goals in 328 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering 1. FSV Mainz 05 that had 436 games and scored 398 goals.
- 25' Patric Pfeiffer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 1 goals in his last 234 appearances.
- 30' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with 1. FSV Mainz 05 winning 100% of all matches.
- 35' Aymen Barkok is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for 1. FSV Mainz 05 so far.
- 40' FC Augsburg currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 43' The whistle greets Danny da Costa as he departs to be replaced by Aymen Barkok.
- 45' Ermedin Demirovic with the second goal in the match!
- 50' Anwar El Ghazi has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 55' 1. FSV Mainz 05 looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 60' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Arne Engels.
- 65' Another change for FC Augsburg made on 65 minute. Ruben Vargas leaves to be changed by Tim Breithaupt.
- 70' The crowd applauds Stefan Bell as he leaves the pitch. Sepp van den Berg steps in for 1. FSV Mainz 05.

- 74' Brajan Gruda is having his name booked by the referee on 74.
- 77' Robin Zentner catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 77.
- 80' The whistle greets Leandro Barreiro Martins as he departs to be replaced by Marco Richter.
- 85' 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 Danny da Costa suffering a number of foals already.
- 89' Another substitution for FC Augsburg to replace Ermedin Demirovic by Dion Drena Beljo on 89 minute.
- 90' That is a Yellow card for FC Augsburg. Niklas Dorsch will be fuming at that decision.
