- 0' The wait is over. SV Darmstadt 98 get us underway at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor.
- 5' VfL Wolfsburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. SV Darmstadt 98 and VfL Wolfsburg are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 15' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 20' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 25' SV Darmstadt 98 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.
- 27' It’s a booking for VfL Wolfsburg player. Maxence Lacroix gets a Red card.
- 32' Jonas Wind has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 37' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 42' VfL Wolfsburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 47' VfL Wolfsburg looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Alexander Bernhardsson scoring 2 goals.
- 52' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 57' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 62' VfL Wolfsburg fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 63' Lovro Majer has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 63 minutes.
- 68' With 3 assists to his name this season, Joakim Maehle is clearly more than just a goal scorer for VfL Wolfsburg.
- 69' Mathias Honsak is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
- 74' 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 Kevin Paredes suffering a number of foals already.
- 75' Fabio Torsiello gets the nod from SV Darmstadt 98. He replaces Clemens Riedel and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' Over 80 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 84' The whistle greets Thomas Isherwood as he departs to be replaced by Matej Maglica.
- 87' Jakub Kaminski is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lovro Majer at the 87 minute mark.
- 90' VfL Wolfsburg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kofi Amoako is hanging Mattias Svanberg on the field on 90 minute.
- 90' Controversy at the stadium! Niko Kovac argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- With this win, VfL Wolfsburg is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
