Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Volkswagen Arena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FC Union Berlin.
- 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 9' Another change for 1. FC Union Berlin made on 9 minute. Diogo Leite leaves to be changed by Leopold Querfeld.
- 14' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 15' Poor challenge from Patrick Wimmer. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
- 20' Janik Haberer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 25' It looks surprising VfL Wolfsburg does not make any changes. Robert Skov has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 30' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both VfL Wolfsburg and 1. FC Union Berlin are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 35' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ralph Hasenhuttl will be considering his options from the bench.
- 40' The travelling 1. FC Union Berlin supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' Kevin Vogt has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 45.
- 46' Benedict Hollerbach is ready to make an impact after coming on for Yorbe Vertessen at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 56' Germany international Aljoscha Kemlein has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 1 assists in the Array this season.
- 61' 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 Konstantinos Koulierakis suffering a number of foals already.
- 63' A tactical swap from VfL Wolfsburg — Lukas Nmecha on, Tiago Tomas off on 63 minutes.

- 82' Rani Khedira makes way for Laszlo Benes at the 82 minute mark. A tactical switch from 1. FC Union Berlin.
- 87' It’s high time Ralph Hasenhuttl made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 90' 1. FC Union Berlin player sees a card in front of him.
- 90' The VfL Wolfsburg bench stirs into life. Ridle Baku is withdrawn and Cedric Zesiger gets his opportunity.
