- 0' The game is set. SV Darmstadt 98 kicks off things out of here…
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' VfL Wolfsburg is showing some good football. However, VfL Wolfsburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 20' SV Darmstadt 98 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 20.
- 25' 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 Sebastiaan Bornauw suffering a number of foals already.
- 27' The referee calls foul for Maxence Lacroix. He receives a Red card.
- 32' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 37' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 42' 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.
- 47' Luca Pfeiffer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 50 appearances.
- 52' 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.
- 57' SV Darmstadt 98 are deployed in a 3-4-1-2 today, looking to exploit space against VfL Wolfsburg's 3-5-2 shape.
- 62' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 63' A stunning finish from Lovro Majer — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 68' Koen Casteels, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 69' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Mathias Honsak on 69 minutes.
- 74' The home supporters are growing impatient. SV Darmstadt 98 must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 75' Fabio Torsiello is ready to make an impact after coming on for Clemens Riedel at the 75 minute mark.
- 80' Tobias Kempe has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 84' It is a substitution in SV Darmstadt 98 team. Thomas Isherwood is replaced by Matej Maglica on 84 minute.
- 87' Another change for VfL Wolfsburg made on 87 minute. Lovro Majer leaves to be changed by Jakub Kaminski.
