Almost an excellent Leverkusen goal. Kevin Volland and Paulinho play a one-two-three (is that a thing?) and Paulinho volleys over.

Non-stop subs these days with five allowed per team. Bayer Leverkusen bring on Exequiel Palacios for Charles Aranguiz.

Saarbrucken make two changes. Markus Mendler replaces Mario Muller and Jayson Breitenbach is on for Fanol Perdedaj.

Timm Golley does almost score for Saarbrucken but his hooked volley from Fanol Perdedaj's cross is saved.

I think we can all agree it would be nice for Saarbrucken to get a goal, wouldn't it?

That is three senior Germany internationals that Bayer Leverkusen have brought off the bench today against a fourth division side who have not played in three months. Such a huge difference in resources.

Bayer Leverkusen make a third and fourth change - ex-Leicester defender Aleksandar Dragovic replaces Sven Bender and Kevin Volland is on for Moussa Diaby.

Timm Golley is down injured for Saabrucken and needs some treatment. But he can play on.

Remember Saarbrucken's league is over so if they lose this, their season is finished. Three months they've had to wait for this game.

Saarbrucken have definitely been more positive since the break - they've had to be. Anthony Barylla absolutely hammers in a volley which hits a Leverkusen defender and rolls to the halfway line.

The winners of this will face Bayern Munich or Eintracht Frankfurt (who play tomorrow) in the German Cup final at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on 4 July.

Lucas Alario has a chance to finish this tie off but he's crowded out by about 10 defenders and his shot is blocked.

Disappointing as Timm Golley shoots from the free-kick and it flies well over the bar.

Good work by Saarbrucken's Sebastian Jacob to hold the ball up and win a free-kick from Jonathan Tah.

Leverkusen are just stringing the ball around confidently at the moment. I'm sure they'd like to score a third so they can relax a bit.

Free-kick to Saarbrucken, who have shown a bit more adventure since the break. It's an inswinger but the Leverkusen keeper catches it.

Youngsters Edmond Tapsoba and Florian Wirtz were the two players replaced by Leverkusen at half-time.

Kianz Froese is instantly involved with a cross which is flicked towards goal but the keeper gathers it.

The second half begins.
