- 0' The game is set. Sevilla FC kicks off things out of here…
- 2' Maxence Lacroix is having his name booked by the referee on 2.
- 7' Sevilla FC 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.
- 12' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 16' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Renato Steffen.
- 21' 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 Jesus Navas suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' A meaty challenge results in booking for Suso on 25.
- 30' 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.
- 35' It looks surprising Sevilla FC does not make any changes. Munir El Haddadi has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 40' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sevilla FC that had 418 games and scored 515 goals.
- 45' Rafael Mir was booked on 45.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Karim Rekik. He replaces Marcos Acuna on 46 minute.
- 48' Goal! Renato Steffen scores his 21 goal in 471 matches.
- 50' VfL Wolfsburg player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 53' The Sevilla FC manager makes a substitution. Suso departs to be replaced by Erik Lamela.
- 58' The travelling Sevilla FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 62' Another substitution for VfL Wolfsburg to replace Kevin Mbabu by Lukas Nmecha on 62 minute.
- 67' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 70' The supporters are chanting for Ivan Romero. He replaces Jordan on 70 minute.
- 74' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Renato Steffen departs to be replaced by Gian-Luca Waldschmidt.
- 79' It’s a booking for VfL Wolfsburg player. Josuha Guilavogui gets a Yellow card.
- 82' The referee calls foul for Karim Rekik. He receives a Yellow card.
- 86' Josuha Guilavogui was booked on 86.
- 87' Goal! Ivan Rakitic scores his 27 goal in 513 matches.
- 90' Yannick Gerhardt is replacing Wout Weghorst for the VfL Wolfsburg side.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Jerome Roussillon.
- The final score is 1-1.
