Schmidt shuffles his pack as he aims to give his side extra impetus. They need to come up with something - they have been a little too passive so far.

Wide
Union are dangerous from corners, and Leite isn't too far away as he towers above everyone to head past the post. Baumgart will want to see his players produce more situations such as that one after the interval.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).
35'
Direct
It seems both teams are aiming to get balls into the box and cause the opposition problems aerially. They have not had much joy up until now, though.
