4' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Danny Latza.
9' 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.
14' Supporters expect more eagerness from Paulo Otavio, as he is very good at scoring at Volkswagen Arena with 3 goals in the last 2 games.
19' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
24' FC Schalke 04 is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
25' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Malick Thiaw.
26' The referee calls foul for Sebastiaan Bornauw. He receives a Yellow card.
27' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Sebastiaan Bornauw.
32' Josuha Guilavogui needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
37' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 471 games and scored 479 goals.
42' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
46' Ridle Baku has so much to prove this time. He replaces Sebastiaan Bornauw on 46 minute.
51' It looks surprising VfL Wolfsburg does not make any changes. Alexander Schwolow has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
56' VfL Wolfsburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 56.
59' Maximilian Philipp is replacing Omar Marmoush for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
64' 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 Lukas Nmecha suffering a number of foals already.
65' FC Schalke 04 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
66' Marius Bulter was booked on 66.
66' Josuha Guilavogui puts VfL Wolfsburg on the lead.

76' 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.
77' Another substitution for VfL Wolfsburg to replace Jakub Kaminski by Kevin Paredes on 77 minute.
82' VfL Wolfsburg 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.
87' The whistle greets Tom Krauss as he departs to be replaced by Mehmet Aydin.
The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
