Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: 1. FC Nurnberg gets underway.
  • 5' VfL Wolfsburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Nurnberg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' 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.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Hanno Behrens, as he is very good at scoring at Volkswagen Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 30' 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 Matheus Pereira suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 38' Goal! Felix Klaus scores his 13 goal in 471 matches.
  • 43' It looks surprising 1. FC Nurnberg does not make any changes. Torless Tim Knoll has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 48' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 48 minutes.
  • 53' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 58' 1. FC Nurnberg is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Nurnberg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 63' VfL Wolfsburg is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 68' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 70' Yunus Malli is replacing Felix Klaus for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
  • 73' Georg Margreitter has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ewerton on 73 minute.
  • 75' Yuya Kubo is replacing Matheus Pereira for the 1. FC Nurnberg side.
  • 76' The supporters are chanting for Ohis Uduokhai. He replaces Renato Steffen on 76 minute.
  • 78' Goal! Marcel Tisserand scores his 2 goal in 471 matches.
  • 81' The whistle greets Mikael Ishak as he departs to be replaced by Torless Tim Knoll.
  • 84' Time for substitution for VfL Wolfsburg. Wout Weghorst is replaced by Daniel Ginczek.
  • 89' Mikael Ishak has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 6 goals this season.
  • Full Time. VfL Wolfsburg beats 1. FC Nurnberg
