- 3' Jonas Wind has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 3 minutes.
- 8' It is a cagey affair so far. VfL Wolfsburg in their 4-4-2 trying to find a way past Borussia Monchengladbach's compact 4-2-3-1.
- 13' Borussia Monchengladbach seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 33' The travelling Borussia Monchengladbach supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 38' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
