  • 22' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Schalke 04 that had 416 games and scored 320 goals.
  • 27' 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 Justin Heekeren suffering a number of foals already.
  • 32' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 56' The 21-year-old Rafael Lubach has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 60' A tactical swap from 1. FC Nurnberg — Berkay Yilmaz on, Danilo Soares off on 60 minutes.
  • 65' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
