Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: VfB Stuttgart gets underway.
  • 2' Silas Wamangituka has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 2 minutes.
  • 7' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Arena. VfB Stuttgart seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 12' VfB Stuttgart are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 17' Waldemar Anton is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for VfB Stuttgart tonight.
  • 18' The referee calls foul for Konstantinos Mavropanos. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 22' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Ramy Bensebaini.
  • 27' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Nicolas Gonzalez, as he is very good at scoring at Mercedes-Benz Arena with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
  • 37' 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 Marcus Thuram-Ulien suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' The travelling Borussia Monchengladbach supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 46' VfB Stuttgart ring the changes. Daniel Didavi has done his job and it is now time for Philipp Forster to step up.
  • 46' Marcus Thuram-Ulien adds to his 5 season tally! Borussia Monchengladbach lead 1-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 50' Goal! Alassane Plea scores his 78 goal in 490 matches.
  • 55' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 60' VfB Stuttgart have won 468 goals from 453 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 63' Borussia Monchengladbach make a change. Alassane Plea trudges off to be replaced by Breel Embolo on 63 minutes.
  • 68' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Monchengladbach are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 71' Borussia Monchengladbach make a change. Marcus Thuram-Ulien trudges off to be replaced by Oscar Wendt on 71 minutes.
  • 76' The 29-year-old Breel Embolo has been sensational this season — 8 goals and 3 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 78' That is a Yellow card for Borussia Monchengladbach. Lars Stindl will be fuming at that decision.
  • 78' The VfB Stuttgart bench stirs into life. Silas Wamangituka is withdrawn and Roberto Massimo gets his opportunity.
  • 81' The referee has no hesitation. Nicolas Gonzalez is booked for VfB Stuttgart — Yellow card on 81.
  • 84' Time for substitution for VfB Stuttgart. Borna Sosa is replaced by Tanguy Coulibaly.
  • 89' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 89 minutes.
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Waldemar Anton.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Borussia Monchengladbach take all three points.
