Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Volkswagen Arena will turn into a battlefield for VfL Wolfsburg and SV Werder Bremen.
- 5' VfL Wolfsburg currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 10' Philipp Bargfrede has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Florian Kohfeldt might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 20' SV Werder Bremen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 25' VfL Wolfsburg started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 25.
- 30' Koen Casteels has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 10 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Josuha Guilavogui made 471 appearances and scored 10 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 40' VfL Wolfsburg are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined SV Werder Bremen backline.
- 42' SV Werder Bremen ring the changes. Sebastian Langkamp has done his job and it is now time for Milos Veljkovic to step up.
- 46' Pavao Pervan is ready to make an impact after coming on for Koen Casteels at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfL Wolfsburg and SV Werder Bremen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 54' The USA centre-back John Brooks breaks the deadlock on 54 minutes. 1-0!
- 59' 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 Kevin Mohwald suffering a number of foals already.
- 64' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 66' SV Werder Bremen receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 66.
- 68' The crowd applauds Milot Rashica as he leaves the pitch. Claudio Pizarro steps in for SV Werder Bremen.
- 73' SV Werder Bremen is showing some good football. However, SV Werder Bremen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 74' A goal from the Germany international Max Kruse! He fires home on 74 to make it 1-1!
- 78' Elvis Rexhbecaj gets the nod from VfL Wolfsburg. He replaces Felix Klaus and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' Poor challenge from Ludwig Augustinsson. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 82' A change in the SV Werder Bremen ranks — Philipp Bargfrede exits the field as Kevin Mohwald enters on 82.
- 87' It looks like no one’s ball. SV Werder Bremen is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- It finishes all square. VfL Wolfsburg and SV Werder Bremen share the spoils 1-1.
