11' A stunning finish from Alejandro Grimaldo — that came from absolutely nowhere!
16' It is a substitution in FC Red Bull Salzburg team. Karim Konate is replaced by Nene Dorgeles on 16 minute.
21' 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 Lucas Gourna-Douath suffering a number of foals already.
26' Samson Baidoo needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

40' 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.

46' The FC Red Bull Salzburg manager makes a substitution. Lucas Gourna-Douath departs to be replaced by Stefan Bajcetic.
51' It’s high time Pepijn Lijnders made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
56' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
58' Poor challenge from Moussa Kounfolo Yeo. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
61' GOAL! Patrik Schick fires home to make it 4-0!
65' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Kamil Piatkowski.

72' The deadlock is broken! Aleix Garcia gets on the scoresheet on 72 minutes.
73' A tactical swap from Bayer 04 Leverkusen — Artem Stepanov on, Patrik Schick off on 73 minutes.
74' A tactical swap from FC Red Bull Salzburg — Nicolas Capaldo on, Mamady Diambou off on 74 minutes.
76' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Florian Wirtz is replaced by Francis Onyeka.
