The DFL’s matchday campaign, which has always been organised as part of the “International Weeks Against Racism”, has existed since 2016. This year, however, the diversity of the campaign has been increased and any form of discrimination is to be visibly condemned. The clubs will play with a special ball and the team captains will wear a customised armband with “TOGETHER! Stop Hate. Be a Team.”Ball stands and substitution boards will also be branded accordingly.

Head coach Jess Thorup sent out the same starting line-up for the third game in a row against a Wolfsburg team that are on a 10-game wait for a win. Mads Pedersen was back in the squad after serving his red-card suspension, while Elvis Rexhbecaj and Tim Breithaupt both missed out due to illness. 

FCA arrived in Wolfsburg with plenty of confidence, having won each of their last three league matches on the bounce. However, the hosts were able to get off to a strong start and took the lead in the ninth minute through Patrick Wimmer. The Austrian was able to score on the turn following a corner. VfL remained in control in the minutes that followed, with Mathias Svanberg (10′), Maximilian Arnold (14′) and Ridle Baku (15′) each going close. 

Thorup’s side were able to find their way into the match as time went on, but were unable to create many chances. Shortly before the break, Wimmer fouled Kevin Mbabu on the edge of the box. Referee Timo Gerach reacted by showing Wimmer a red card for having denied an obvious goalscoring opportunity. Arne Maier stepped up to take the free kick, which took a deflection on its way into the back of the net to level the scores (45+3′).

Despite that disadvantage, Tuchel remains optimistic.
