Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' It looks surprising SV Darmstadt 98 does not make any changes. Fabian Schnellhardt has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 10' VfL Wolfsburg 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.
  • 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
  • 20' 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.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Koen Casteels, as he is very good at scoring at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 27' It’s gonna be a Red card for Maxence Lacroix.
  • 32' SV Darmstadt 98 is showing some good football. However, SV Darmstadt 98 are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 37' The travelling VfL Wolfsburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.

  • 57' Klaus Gjasula has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 62' 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 Yannick Gerhardt suffering a number of foals already.
  • 63' What a strike from Lovro Majer! The score is 0-1.
  • 68' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Moritz Jenz made 434 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
