Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Cologne playing with 10
That horrible injury to Hübers means that Cologne will have to finish this game with 10 men. Unfortunately for the visitors, they have already used all of their substitutions.

A stop in play
Hübers does well to get across and deal with Guirassy, but in the process, the Cologne defender seems to have picked up a nasty injury to his knee.

Nmecha bends one wide

77'
Almost
Ryerson sends in a free-kick from the right that almost drifts in at the back post. Schwäbe has to be alert to tip the floated delivery over the bar for a corner.

Goalkeeper Efficiency of Marvin Schwäbe
Goalkeeper Efficiency
Goalkeeper Efficiency compares the number of saves a goalkeeper makes with his expected saves (xSaves). xSaves is calculated with the help of artificial intelligence. When a goalkeeper has a positive efficiency value, it means he has saved more shots than statistically expected.

Both teams have had chances
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Added time
Just the one extra minute to be played.

El Mala causing more problems
The youngster wiggles his way past Bensebaini on the right before being crowded out in the box. He isn't giving the Dortmund defenders a moment to breathe.

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).
37'
Just wide from Nmecha
Guirassy pops off a ball to feet into the path of Nmecha. He then tries to guide his finish into the far corner from the edge of the box, but his shot goes just wide of the right-hand post.
35'
Another opportunity for El Mala
El Mala pounces on a loose pass to Anton before bursting through the centre-back's challenge. He thinks about shooting, but decides to take on Schlotterbeck as well. He gets around the Dortmund defender, but loses his balance when shooting, and the strike sails harmlessly over the bar. That was another good chance.
34'
Fantastic from Adeyemi
The Dortmund speedster skins his man on the right and races into the box, but Schwäbe is out quickly to smother his shot. Great goalkeeping.

Full-back to full-back
Ryerson once more gets to the byline before whipping in a cross, but again, Svensson is unable to get to the ball first. That full-back to full-back combo looks like it could bring results.
22'
Groß fires over
A lovely long ball finds Adeyemi, who brings it under his spell effortlessly before cutting inside and feeding Groß on the edge of the box. The German international tries to bend a shot, but he can't keep his effort down.

El Mala wastes a glorious chance
15'
A chance
A looping pass into the box lands at Guirassy's feet, but he can't connect with his volley and Schwäbe smothers the bobbling effort.
A good battle

Another wayward Adeyemi strike
Once again, the corner is cleared only as far as Adeyemi, but once again, the striker gets it all wrong and fires way over.
10'
Just over from Anton
Another dangerous Dortmund set-piece is eventually sent back across the box to Anton, who pokes an effort goalwards that is narrowly deflected over the bar for another corner.
9'
Adeyemi over the bar
The resulting corner is a dangerous one, with Schwäbe pinned by a multitude of players. The initial delivery is cleared as far as Adeyemi, who can shoot, but his effort is scooped over the bar.
8'
First threat from the hosts
Ryerson gets down the right and whips in a dangerous low cross that Hübers clears behind just before Svensson can reach it.
6'
So close to the opener
El Mala wins a corner with his direct running, and the set-piece nearly leads to the opener. The delivery is flicked on at the near post before being deflected goalwards by Schlotterbeck. Luckily for Dortmund, Kobel is able to scramble across and deal with the loose ball.
3'
First shot of the game
A loose pass into midfield is intercepted, allowing Cologne to push forward for the first time. El Mala is then fed the ball inside the box, but he is closed down as he shoots by Schlotterbeck, and Kobel is able to palm the effort away for a corner. The set-piece comes to nothing.
