Events
Match Events
- 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — FC Augsburg and RB Leipzig get this one started.
- 5' Christoph Baumgartner has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 10' RB Leipzig is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' RB Leipzig looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
- 20' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 25' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 30' The 28-year-old Ermedin Demirovic has been sensational this season — 3 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 35' GOAL! Phillip Tietz fires home to make it 1-0!
- 39' The Belgium Lois Openda breaks the deadlock on 39 minutes. 1-1!
- 44' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ruben Vargas, as he is very good at scoring at WWK Arena with 14 goals in the last 13 games.
- 49' Finn Dahmen has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 52' Benjamin Sesko adds to his 0 season tally! RB Leipzig lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
- 55' Poor challenge from Jeffrey Gouweleeuw. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 60' What composure from Ermedin Demirovic! The Bosnia-Herzegovina international strokes it home. 2-2.
- 64' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Kristijan Jakic.
- 67' Eljif Elmas gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Dani Olmo and will look to change the dynamic.
- 68' It is a substitution in FC Augsburg team. Phillip Tietz is replaced by Pep Biel on 68 minute.
- 70' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ruben Vargas.
- 72' Yussuf Poulsen is replacing Benjamin Sesko for the RB Leipzig side.
- 74' A meaty challenge results in booking for David Raum on 74.
- 79' It looks surprising FC Augsburg does not make any changes. Willi Orban has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 81' Finn Dahmen has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 81.
- 83' Fresh legs for FC Augsburg! Arne Maier comes on to replace Ruben Vargas.
- 84' The RB Leipzig bench stirs into life. Xavi Simons is withdrawn and Christoph Baumgartner gets his opportunity.
- 89' Kevin Mbabu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 90' A moment of madness from Kevin Mbabu on 90 minutes earns him a Yellow card. FC Augsburg will be frustrated.
- Game over. The scoreline of 2-2 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
