Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. 1. FC Union Berlin kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Philip Heise needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 15' Christian Gentner has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 46 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Karlsruher SC that had 262 games and scored 176 goals.
  • 25' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 27' A meaty challenge results in booking for Jerome Gondorf on 27.
  • 32' 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 Christopher Trimmel suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. 1. FC Union Berlin needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 42' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nico Schlotterbeck.
  • 50' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 55' It’s high time Christian Eichner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 58' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Marvin Friedrich.
  • 61' 1. FC Union Berlin manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Sheraldo Becker is hanging Cedric Teuchert on the field on 61 minute.
  • 66' It looks surprising 1. FC Union Berlin does not make any changes. Robin Knoche has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 71' 1. FC Union Berlin is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Union Berlin are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 76' It looks like no one’s ball. Karlsruher SC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 81' Dominik Kother has so much to prove this time. He replaces Marco Djuricin on 81 minute.
  • 86' The travelling 1. FC Union Berlin supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • The final score is 0-1.
