Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for VfB Stuttgart to score. At the same time, Borussia Dortmund does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' VfB Stuttgart 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.
  • 10' Supporters expect more eagerness from Salih Ozcan, as he is very good at scoring at Mercedes-Benz Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 15' 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 Ramy Bensebaini suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Mats Hummels is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Borussia Dortmund so far.
  • 24' Niclas Fullkrug is replacing Youssoufa Moukoko for the Borussia Dortmund side.
  • 29' Germany international Niclas Fullkrug has been a key figure this campaign — 14 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 39' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Edin Terzić will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 44' Marco Reus has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 7 goals this season.
  • 46' Another change for Borussia Dortmund made on 46 minute. Marius Wolf leaves to be changed by Ramy Bensebaini.
  • 51' 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.
  • 54' Sehrou Guirassy does the damage! The net is bulging and VfB Stuttgart surge ahead!

  • 64' Waldemar Anton is having his name booked by the referee on 64.
  • 67' That is a card for Borussia Dortmund. Ramy Bensebaini will be fuming at that decision.
