Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Karlsruher SC and VfL Bochum 1848 is underway.
  • 4' GOAL! Kjell Watjen scores on 4. Assisted by Farid Alfa-Ruprecht
  • 9' Supporters expect more eagerness from Leandro Morgalla, as he is very good at scoring at BBBank Wildpark with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 14' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 14 minutes.
  • 19' What an equalizer from Shio Fukuda!
  • 22' Fabian Schleusener is having his name booked by the referee on 22.
  • 23' It’s a booking for Karlsruher SC player. Fabian Schleusener gets a card.
  • 28' Karlsruher SC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 31' A meaty challenge results in booking for Dzenis Burnic on 31.
  • 36' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with VfL Bochum 1848 winning 50% of all matches.
  • 39' It’s a booking for VfL Bochum 1848 player. Noah Loosli gets a card.
  • 44' VfL Bochum 1848 looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Moritz-Broni Kwarteng scoring 1 goals.
  • 49' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Noah Loosli made 334 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 54' 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.
  • 59' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 64' VfL Bochum 1848 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.
  • 69' 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 Dzenis Burnic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 70' VfL Bochum 1848 is taking the lead after the goal scored by Moritz-Broni Kwarteng on 70.
  • 75' Marcel Franke has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 80' Marvin Wanitzek needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 13 Yellow cards this season.
  • 85' That looks like a foul for a card for Oliver Olsen.
  • 90' Matus Bero was booked on 90.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for Karlsruher SC.
