Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. 1. FC Kaiserslautern kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
  • 10' Holstein Kiel is showing some good football. However, Holstein Kiel are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 16' What a strike from Umut Tohumcu! The score is 1-0.
  • 21' 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.

  • 64' It’s gonna be a card for Kasper Davidsen.
  • 64' The whistle greets Mergim Berisha as he departs to be replaced by Daniel Hanslik.
  • 69' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with 1. FC Kaiserslautern winning 50% of all matches.
  • 74' Supporters expect more eagerness from Naatan Skytta, as he is very good at scoring at Holstein-Stadion with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 75' Stefan Schwab is replacing Ikem Ugoh for the Holstein Kiel side.
  • 80' The travelling 1. FC Kaiserslautern supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 83' Niklas Niehoff is replacing David Zec for the Holstein Kiel side.
  • 88' It’s high time Tim Walter made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
