Events

Match Events

  • 0' What a night it is going to be! VfL Wolfsburg welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach for this crunch clash at Volkswagen Arena.
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. VfL Wolfsburg needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Borussia Mönchengladbach are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 13' What composure from Xaver Schlager! The Austria international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 15' GOAL! Breel Embolo fires home to make it 1-1!
  • 20' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for John Brooks.
  • 25' It looks surprising VfL Wolfsburg does not make any changes. Robin Knoche has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Mönchengladbach are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 34' A moment of madness from Breel Embolo on 34 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Borussia Monchengladbach will be frustrated.
  • 39' The 29-year-old Marcus Thuram-Ulien has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 44' Stefan Lainer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 7 goals in his last 223 appearances.
  • 45' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Jerome Roussillon on 45 minutes.
  • 46' Louis Beyer gets the nod from Borussia Monchengladbach. He replaces Stefan Lainer and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 51' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Tobias Strobl.
  • 56' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 56 minutes.
  • 59' Another change for VfL Wolfsburg made on 59 minute. Renato Steffen leaves to be changed by Josip Brekalo.
  • 64' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 478 games and scored 497 goals.
  • 69' Koen Casteels has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 71' A moment of madness from Xaver Schlager on 71 minutes earns him a Yellow card. VfL Wolfsburg will be frustrated.
  • 72' Controversy at the stadium! Louis Beyer argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 72' The Borussia Monchengladbach bench stirs into life. Marcus Thuram-Ulien is withdrawn and Patrick Herrmann gets his opportunity.
  • 77' Yannick Gerhardt is replacing Xaver Schlager for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
  • 82' It looks like no one’s ball. Borussia Mönchengladbach is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 87' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Joao Victor departs to be replaced by Felix Klaus.
  • With this win, VfL Wolfsburg is likely to improve its situation in the overall team standings.
