Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Mercedes-Benz Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfB Stuttgart that had 438 games and scored 440 goals.
  • 10' Pavao Pervan has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 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 Josuha Guilavogui suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' VfL Wolfsburg fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 23' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Alexander Esswein on 23 minutes.
  • 24' Josuha Guilavogui catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 24.
  • 29' VfL Wolfsburg are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 34' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 39' The travelling VfL Wolfsburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 44' VfB Stuttgart currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 46' What a strike from Gonzalo Castro! The score is 1-0.
  • 46' A change in the VfL Wolfsburg ranks — Felix Klaus exits the field as Yunus Malli enters on 46.
  • 51' Chadrac Akolo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 53' Daniel Didavi is ready to make an impact after coming on for Alexander Esswein at the 53 minute mark.
  • 55' Magnificent from Tasos Donis! That is 6 goals in 438 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 59' VfL Wolfsburg make a change. Yannick Gerhardt trudges off to be replaced by Daniel Ginczek on 59 minutes.
  • 64' Over 64 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 65' Marcel Tisserand catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 65.
  • 70' William, a Brazil , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 75' Time for substitution for VfL Wolfsburg. William is replaced by Josip Brekalo.
  • 76' Fresh legs for VfB Stuttgart! Dennis Aogo comes on to replace Chadrac Akolo.
  • 79' VfB Stuttgart manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Holger Badstuber is hanging Tasos Donis on the field on 79 minute.
  • 83' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Daniel Didavi makes it 3-0.
  • 88' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • That’s it! Another goalless match for VfB Stuttgart and VfL Wolfsburg (для сухой ничьи).
