Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — 1. FSV Mainz 05 and RB Leipzig get this one started.
  • 5' It is a cagey affair so far. 1. FSV Mainz 05 in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past RB Leipzig's compact 4-2-2-2.
  • 10' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FSV Mainz 05 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 15' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are deployed in a 3-4-2-1 today, looking to exploit space against RB Leipzig's 4-2-2-2 shape.
  • 20' What a strike from Xavi Simons! The score is 0-1.
  • 25' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 513 games and scored 719 goals.
  • 30' The 21-year-old Antonio Nusa has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 35' 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 Amadou Haidara suffering a number of foals already.
  • 37' Willi Orban has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 37 minutes.
  • 42' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Marco Rose will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 47' 1. FSV Mainz 05 are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 52' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 53' It’s a booking for RB Leipzig player. Amadou Haidara gets a card.
  • 56' Another change for RB Leipzig made on 56 minute. Amadou Haidara leaves to be changed by Kevin Kampl.
  • 59' 1. FSV Mainz 05 manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Paul Nebel is hanging Armindo Sieb on the field on 59 minute.
  • 60' RB Leipzig receives a card for a hard tackle on 60.
  • 65' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 70' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FSV Mainz 05 side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 73' A tactical swap from RB Leipzig — Eljif Elmas on, Arthur Vermeeren off on 73 minutes.
  • 74' The supporters are chanting for Nelson Weiper. He replaces Jae-sung Lee on 74 minute.
  • 79' Both keepers have barely been tested. 1. FSV Mainz 05 and RB Leipzig are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 84' Another change for RB Leipzig made on 84 minute. Lois Openda leaves to be changed by Yussuf Poulsen.
