0' It’s Showtime! The match between VfL Wolfsburg and Bayer 04 Leverkusen is underway.

15' Moussa Diaby has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
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 Josuha Guilavogui suffering a number of foals already.
25' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His VfL Wolfsburg side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
30' Bayer 04 Leverkusen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
35' Mickey van de Ven, a Netherlands , has 21 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
40' VfL Wolfsburg is showing some good football. However, VfL Wolfsburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
45' Sardar Azmoun needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
50' Edmond Tapsoba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 19 goals in his last 394 appearances.
54' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Paulo Otavio departs to be replaced by Kevin Paredes.

67' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
70' Patrick Wimmer is replacing Omar Marmoush for the VfL Wolfsburg side.

73' Bayer 04 Leverkusen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 73.
77' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Odilon Kossounou on 77 minutes.
