- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Soufiane El-Faouzi, as he is very good at scoring at Veltins-Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' 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.
- 25' It looks surprising Eintracht Braunschweig does not make any changes. Moussa Sylla has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' Eintracht Braunschweig is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 35' Johan Gomez has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 36' Goal! Adil Aouchiche scores his 8 goal in 520 matches.
- 41' Eintracht Braunschweig looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.

- 70' That looks like a foul for a card for Robin Heusser.
- 75' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Kenan Karaman made 302 appearances and scored 42 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 80' Eintracht Braunschweig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 80.
- 85' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Eintracht Braunschweig that had 279 games and scored 109 goals.

- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-0.
