18:49
Yellow card for Salih Özcan (Borussia Dortmund)
Özcan fouls Amiri and knocks the ball away. Then he complained loudly because Schlotterbeck was down and Leverkusen continued to play.
59
18:48
Adeyemi goes down after a duel with Tapsoba, the referee rightly lets him continue.
57
18:47
Almost the quick answer! Diaby crosses the ball from the right to Adli’s head, who puts the ball on target from close range. Kobel reacted well again and prevented the connection hit.
55
18:46
How does Leverkusen react to the goal being conceded again? Will Alonso react by making a move? Hložek, who scored during the week, is also on the bench.
53
18:43
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0:2 by Edmond Tapsoba (own goal)
Dortmund increased! Bellingham switched play to the right, where Wolf had plenty of space and crossed the ball in front of Hradecky’s goal. Bellingham and Haller, among others, are lurking there, but in the end Tapsoba directs the ball into his own goal.
51.
18:41
Diaby beats Ryerson well on the right, Can clears for a corner kick. This poses no danger.
50
18:39
Bayer Leverkusen is good from the dressing room, the speech by coach Alonso seems to be fruitful.
48
18:38
First chance of the second half! Diaby comes to an end on the left in the penalty area, Kobel can only clap forward. There lurks Palacios, who does not hit the ball properly in distress. The Werkself get at least a corner kick, but it doesn’t bring anything.
48
18:37
Diaby brings the ball inside, but Dortmund can easily clear it.
47
18:36
Süle has his hand on Adli’s face in the running duel, and the Werkself get a free kick from the half-field. Not a bad position.
46
18:35
Dortmund opens the second round. There are no changes, both teams came out of the dressing room unchanged.
46
18:34
Kick-off 2nd half
45
18:26
Mid-term conclusion:
BVB is not undeservedly leading 1-0 at half-time in Leverkusen. After a strong early phase for the Werkself, in which Diaby had a great chance to make it 1-0, Borussia got into the game better and completed an attack by Karim Adeyemi to make it 0-1. Nothing is through here yet, the second 45 minutes will bring the decision.
45
18:17
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
43
18:15
Again and again there are offenses in midfield, after Andrich Can now also commits a foul.
40
18:12
Just a few minutes before the half-time whistle, will BVB take the lead during the break?
38
18:11
In his own build-up, Can repeatedly falls between the two central defenders Süle and Schlotterbeck, in front of which Özcan acts as a brief pass.
36
18:09
At Leverkusen, a lot goes down the right flank again, where two extremely fast players, Frimpong and Diaby, whirl. Adli is not really in the game on the left.
34
18:07
Yellow card for Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund)
For a foul on Frimpong.
33
18:05
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0:1 by Karim Adeyemi
After Amiri lost the ball, the Dortmund team moved very quickly. Brandt plays a one-two with Bellingham and then plays the ball low from the right inwards. Haller lets the ball through to Adeyemi, who accepts the ball once and completes it with his left into the far corner.
31
18:03
The first 30 minutes are played, in what is now an even game it’s still 0-0.
30
18:02
Schlotterbeck tries a shot from about 30 meters, Andrich throws himself into the line of fire and blocks the ex-Freiburger’s shot.
28
18:00
Yellow card for Edmond Tapsoba (Bayer Leverkusen)
Tapsoba sees the first yellow card of the game for a foul on Adeyemi.
27
17:59
Again, the Dortmund corner kick resulted in a counterattack opportunity for Leverkusen. Wirtz gets through well against Can, but is then severely separated from the ball by Adeyemi, who is rushing back. Strong tackling by the German international.
26
17:58
Brandt looks for a finish after a solo, Tapsoba puts his leg in between and clears for a corner kick.
23
17:55
Süle gets involved in the offensive game and gets the ball deep, but can no longer reach the pass, which is a bit too steep.
22
17:53
BVB again have problems with the Werkself’s attacking pressing, but this time getting in against Wolf is a bit too hard. Free kick for Dortmund in their own half.
19
17:51
Haller is not really in the game when he makes his debut, but is very motivated and trying.
16
17:49
What an act by Kobel! Wirtz served Diaby with a perfect pass through the interface. The Frenchman comes to the end from the right from a few meters and aims right at the far corner, where Kobel is there and directs the ball to the corner kick. This brings nothing.
15
17:46
Dortmund are now getting into the game a little better after they were noticed in the first few minutes, mainly by losing the ball in their own half.
12.
17:45
Amiri elbows Wolf in the face as he claims the ball. Free kick for Dortmund from the right wing. Süle comes to an end, but the assistant raises the flag.
11.
17:43
After the corner, there is an opportunity for Leverkusen to counterattack, at the end of which at least a corner kick jumps out. This can easily be clarified by BVB.
10
17:42
A first push by Dortmund. Adeyemi gets through well in the penalty area, but misses the right moment to close the goal. Frimpong can clear the corner at the last moment, but it doesn’t yield anything.
8th.
17:40
Bayer have had a lot more of the game so far, defend very high and aggressively and have already scored two goals through Palacios and Amiri.
6.
17:38
Ryerson comes on the left today and replaces Guerreiro there, Wolf defends on the right.
5.
17:37
After a throw-in, Bellingham loses the ball to Amiri, who pulls in from the left and shoots from a distance. His shot just misses the short corner.
3.
17:36
Ryerson recklessly loses the ball against Frimpong and then hits Diaby in the face in a tackle. There is a free kick for Leverkusen from the right wing, which is not dangerous.
2.
17:34
Leverkusen’s world champion Palacios scored the first goal, but his central shot from the second row was no problem for Kobel.
1.
17:33
Haller is fouled in his own half and gets a first free kick for Borussia.
1.
17:32
Leverkusen toast, the game is on!
17:30
The two teams have just stepped onto the lawn, and it’s about to start.
17:26
Incidentally, Borussia Dortmund won the first leg 1-0. Captain Marco Reus scored the goal of the day, and Leverkusen keeper Lukas Hradecky saw a red card in injury time.
17:03
While Marco Reus is at least returning to the substitutes’ bench at Borussia after his illness-related break, Patrik Schick is not yet good enough for a place in the squad after his groin injury. Alonso recently kept a possible comeback of the Czech striker against BVB open.
16:58
In order to achieve this, Edin Terzić’s eleven have to complete a mammoth task today. Opponents Bayer Leverkusen are not only in great form, having won each of their last five games, but are also home power under Xabi Alonso. Under the Spaniard’s guidance, the Werkself scored 13 out of a possible 15 points at the BayArena.
16:54
After Frankfurt’s draw at FC Bayern, BVB could overtake Eintracht with a win and would then be fourth with 34 points. Bayern are at the top of the table with 37 points, so they would be within striking distance again.
16:45
Edin Terzić, on the other hand, rotates to three positions compared to the away win in Mainz: Haller makes his starting eleven debut today after two substitutions, and Wolf and Bellingham, who is returning after his yellow card suspension, also start. Guerreiro, Malen and Moukoko, on the other hand, are initially on the bench.
16:41
Home coach Xabi Alonso made two changes to his starting XI compared to the 2-0 win against Bochum during the week: Palacios and Adli started in place of Hudson-Odoi and goalscorer Hložek.
16:33
Welcome to the Bundesliga game on Sunday evening! At the end of the 18th matchday, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund will meet two teams that started the new calendar year with two wins each. Both teams want to continue this trend and will face each other in the BayArena from 5:30 p.m.
