Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and 1. FC Union Berlin launch into their encounter with RB Leipzig.
  • 5' 1. FC Union Berlin currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FC Union Berlin and RB Leipzig are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Amadou Haidara is clearly more than just a goal scorer for 1. FC Union Berlin.
  • 20' 1. FC Union Berlin are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' Controversy at the stadium! Marcel Sabitzer argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 30' The home supporters are growing impatient. 1. FC Union Berlin must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 35' RB Leipzig come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 40' 1. FC Union Berlin have won 363 goals from 435 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' Willi Orban has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 30 cards already picked up this season.
  • 50' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 53' Controversy at the stadium! Christopher Trimmel argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 54' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Emil Forsberg by Yussuf Poulsen on 54 minute.
  • 55' The Netherlands Justin Kluivert breaks the deadlock on 55 minutes. 0-1!
  • 58' Taiwo Awoniyi has so much to prove this time. He replaces Petar Musa on 58 minute.
  • 63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Julian Nagelsmann will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 64' Another substitution for 1. FC Union Berlin to replace Marcus Ingvartsen by Cedric Teuchert on 64 minute.
  • 67' The Germany Marvin Friedrich breaks the deadlock on 67 minutes. 1-1!
  • 68' Konrad Laimer has so much to prove this time. He replaces Justin Kluivert on 68 minute.
  • 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Petar Musa suffering a number of foals already.
  • 76' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nico Schlotterbeck.
  • 81' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 82' Another change for 1. FC Union Berlin made on 82 minute. Julian Ryerson leaves to be changed by Marius Bulter.
  • 85' Alexander Sorloth gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Kevin Kampl and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for RB Leipzig.
