  • 5' FC Schalke 04 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. FC Schalke 04 and 1. FC Koln are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both FC Schalke 04 and 1. FC Koln are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both FC Schalke 04 and 1. FC Koln are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Marius Bulter, as he is very good at scoring at Veltins-Arena with 7 goals in the last 5 games.
  • 30' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 35' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Koln is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' 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 Linton Maina suffering a number of foals already.
  • 45' 1. FC Koln 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.

  • 70' The travelling 1. FC Koln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 75' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 80' Henning Matriciani has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 85' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nikola Soldo made 401 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
