Events

Match Events

0' It’s Showtime! The match between FC Augsburg and Bayer 04 Leverkusen is underway.
5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His FC Augsburg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
10' FC Augsburg looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Fabian Rieder scoring 2 goals.
15' FC Augsburg have won 387 goals from 433 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
18' Ruben Vargas has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 18.
19' A meaty challenge results in booking for Iago Borduchi on 19.
24' It looks surprising FC Augsburg does not make any changes. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
29' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
34' 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 Arne Engels suffering a number of foals already.
39' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is showing some good football. However, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
44' FC Augsburg player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jonas Hofmann on 45.
50' Patrik Schick needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 21 Yellow cards this season.
55' 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.
60' It is a cagey affair so far. FC Augsburg in their 4-1-2-1-2 trying to find a way past Bayer 04 Leverkusen's compact 3-4-1-2.
62' Bayer 04 Leverkusen make a change. Adam Hlozek trudges off to be replaced by Florian Wirtz on 62 minutes.
67' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
72' Lukas Hradecky has been relatively quiet despite scoring 4 goals in his last 541 appearances.
77' FC Augsburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
80' Fresh legs for FC Augsburg! Arne Engels comes on to replace Fredrik Jensen.
85' FC Augsburg are deployed in a 4-1-2-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 3-4-1-2 shape.
88' Robert Gumny is replacing Elvis Rexhbecaj for the FC Augsburg side.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
