- 5' 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.
- 10' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 15' Goal! Kenan Karaman scores his 42 goal in 300 matches.
- 20' 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 Sotiris Alexandropoulos suffering a number of foals already.
- 22' Tim Breithaupt was booked on 22.
- 27' TSV Fortuna 95 Dusseldorf 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.
- 32' Soufiane El-Faouzi needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 37' FC Schalke 04 looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Kenan Karaman scoring 1 goals.
- 42' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 42 minutes.
