Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at WWK Arena!

- 4' What composure from Iago Borduchi! The Brazil international strokes it home. 0-2.
- 9' The 25-year-old Paulinho has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 14' Against the run of play, Florian Niederlechner has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 19' Supporters expect more eagerness from Exequiel Palacios, as he is very good at scoring at WWK Arena with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
- 24' It’s high time Markus Weinzierl made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 29' Niklas Dorsch has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 53' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 58' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Augsburg must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 63' FC Augsburg seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 85' Another substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to replace Mitchel Bakker by Daley Sinkgraven on 85 minute.
