Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Borussia Monchengladbach kicks off things out of here…
- 5' 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.
- 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Oscar Wendt is clearly more than just a goal scorer for VfB Stuttgart.
- 15' Andreas Beck is having his name booked by the referee on 15.
- 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Borna Sosa on 17.
- 22' Ozan Kabak needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 51 Yellow cards this season.
- 27' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Monchengladbach are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 32' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 37' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 42' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 47' The travelling Borussia Monchengladbach supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 52' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 56' What a strike from Tasos Donis! The score is 1-0.
- 57' The Borussia Monchengladbach bench stirs into life. Tobias Strobl is withdrawn and Oscar Wendt gets his opportunity.
- 59' Christoph Kramer catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 59.
- 64' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His VfB Stuttgart side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 67' VfB Stuttgart make a change. Tasos Donis trudges off to be replaced by Alexander Esswein on 67 minutes.
- 71' Fresh legs for VfB Stuttgart! Emiliano Insua comes on to replace Dennis Aogo.
- 76' VfB Stuttgart have won 467 goals from 452 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 78' Daniel Didavi makes way for Mario Gomez at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from VfB Stuttgart.
- 83' VfB Stuttgart is showing some good football. However, VfB Stuttgart are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 88' 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 Denis Zakaria suffering a number of foals already.
- The referee brings this contest to a close. VfB Stuttgart take all three points.
