- 24' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 29' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Borussia Dortmund needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 32' A tactical swap from FC Schalke 04 — Michael Langer on, Ralf Fahrmann off on 32 minutes.

- 42' Jadon Sancho makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Borussia Dortmund are in front.
- 45' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Erling Haaland makes it 0-2.
- 46' Alessandro Schopf has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nassim Boujellab on 46 minute.
- 51' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Borussia Dortmund that had 536 games and scored 827 goals.

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