Match Events
- 0' We are underway at MHPArena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' 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 Atakan Karazor suffering a number of foals already.
- 10' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Alexander Nubel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daniel Svensson made 6 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 29' Carney Chukwuemeka was booked on 29.
- 34' Borussia Dortmund started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 34.
- 39' It looks like no one’s ball. Borussia Dortmund is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 44' The travelling Borussia Dortmund supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 49' Borussia Dortmund looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Julian Brandt scoring 1 goals.
- 54' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Borussia Dortmund needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 59' Borussia Dortmund 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.
- 64' Karim Adeyemi is replacing Carney Chukwuemeka for the Borussia Dortmund side.
- 65' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ramon Hendriks on 65.

- 72' It is a substitution in Borussia Dortmund team. Maximilian Beier is replaced by Julian Brandt on 72 minute.
- 77' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Borussia Dortmund winning 50% of all matches.
- 80' Karim Adeyemi was booked on 80.
- 85' Ramon Hendriks needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
