Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and RB Leipzig is underway.
  • 5' Bayer 04 Leverkusen currently sit 6 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 10' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Bayer 04 Leverkusen winning 100% of all matches.
  • 14' A meaty challenge results in booking for Max Finkgrafe on 14.
  • 19' RB Leipzig are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
  • 25' A goal from the Czech Republic international Patrik Schick! He fires home on 25 to make it 1-0!
  • 30' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 35' El Chadaille Bitshiabu is a natural defender and has been asked to do a very specific job for Bayer 04 Leverkusen tonight.
  • 40' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 45' Nathan Tella adds to his 1 season tally! Bayer 04 Leverkusen lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 50' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Kasper Hjulmand will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 55' Bayer 04 Leverkusen looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Miguel Gutierrez scoring 1 goals.
  • 60' It looks like no one’s ball. RB Leipzig is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 65' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.

  • 76' Patrik Schick is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 6 goals this season for the .
  • 80' Christoph Baumgartner has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 80 minutes.
  • 85' 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 Jarell Quansah suffering a number of foals already.
  • 86' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Christoph Baumgartner on 86 minutes.
  • 89' Patrik Schick makes no mistake. The score reads 4-1 and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in front.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for RB Leipzig.
