- 10' It’s high time Marco Rose made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' 1. FC Union Berlin currently sit 14 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.

- 25' 1. FC Union Berlin are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined RB Leipzig backline.

- 32' It’s gonna be a card for Josip Juranovic.
- 37' RB Leipzig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 37.
- 42' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 46' The crowd applauds El Chadaille Bitshiabu as he leaves the pitch. Amadou Haidara steps in for RB Leipzig.
- 49' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Diogo Leite on 49 minutes.
- 54' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 516 games and scored 728 goals.
- 59' 1. FC Union Berlin have won 370 goals from 438 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 64' The referee shows RB Leipzig player a card on 64.

- 83' With 1 assists to his name this season, Christoph Baumgartner is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RB Leipzig.
- 84' A tactical swap from 1. FC Union Berlin — Jerome Roussillon on, Robert Skov off on 84 minutes.
- 89' 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 Robert Skov suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' Laszlo Benes has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 90.
- Game over. The scoreline of 0-0 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
