0' That's the starting whistle at BayArena. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.
5' RB Leipzig 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.
10' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is showing some good football. However, Bayer 04 Leverkusen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
14' Max Finkgrafe picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
19' 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 Aleix Garcia suffering a number of foals already.
24' Both keepers have barely been tested. Bayer 04 Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
25' Brilliant from the ! Patrik Schick makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 25.

40' Max Finkgrafe is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RB Leipzig tonight.
45' GOAL! Nathan Tella fires home to make it 2-0!
50' named a 3-4-2-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-3-3 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
55' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
60' With 1 assists to his name this season, Edmond Tapsoba is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RB Leipzig.
65' Yan Diomande has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
70' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
72' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Xaver Schlager.
76' Patrik Schick with the second goal in the match!
