Events

Match Events

5' Patrik Schick needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
10' 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.
14' Max Finkgrafe is having his name booked by the referee on 14.
19' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
24' Bayer 04 Leverkusen seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

30' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
