- 5' Over 5 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 10' Sven Michel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Augsburg tonight.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. FC Augsburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' 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 Elvis Rexhbecaj suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' It is a cagey affair so far. VfL Bochum 1848 in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past FC Augsburg's compact 4-1-2-1-2.
- 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 33' Moritz Broschinski doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 38' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?

- 45' It’s a booking for VfL Bochum 1848 player. Tim Oermann gets a Yellow card.
- 50' The 28-year-old Ruben Vargas has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
- 55' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Matus Bero made 282 appearances and scored 29 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 60' Phillip Tietz makes way for Pep Biel at the 60 minute mark. A tactical switch from FC Augsburg.
- 65' VfL Bochum 1848 have won 224 goals from 346 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.

- 81' FC Augsburg manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Mads Pedersen is hanging Ruben Vargas on the field on 81 minute.
- 86' It looks surprising VfL Bochum 1848 does not make any changes. Pep Biel has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 90' The whistle greets Matus Bero as he departs to be replaced by Philipp Hofmann.
