30' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
39' The referee calls foul for Exequiel Palacios. He receives a Yellow card.

76' Tom Krauss has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
81' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

82' The whistle greets Rodrigo Zalazar as he departs to be replaced by Tobias Mohr.
83' The Bayer 04 Leverkusen manager makes a substitution. Kerem Demirbay departs to be replaced by Daley Sinkgraven.
