Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Veltins-Arena!
- 5' Konrad Laimer has been relatively quiet despite scoring 21 goals in his last 513 appearances.
- 10' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 14' Timo Werner makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and RB Leipzig are in front.
- 19' Marcel Sabitzer has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 49 cards already picked up this season.
- 24' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ralf Rangnick will be considering his options from the bench.
- 29' It’s high time Huub Stevens made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 34' The home supporters are growing impatient. FC Schalke 04 must find a spark to ignite this game.
- 39' Benjamin Stambouli is a natural defensive midfielder and has been asked to do a very specific job for FC Schalke 04 tonight.
- 44' 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.
- 49' Bastian Oczipka, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 52' Controversy at the stadium! Marcel Halstenberg argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
- 57' 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 Mark Uth suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' Time for substitution for FC Schalke 04. Sebastian Rudy is replaced by Ahmed Kutucu.
- 65' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering FC Schalke 04 that had 406 games and scored 311 goals.
- 67' RB Leipzig ring the changes. Emil Forsberg has done his job and it is now time for Konrad Laimer to step up.
- 72' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 73' Another substitution for FC Schalke 04 to replace Mark Uth by Guido Burgstaller on 73 minute.
- 77' The crowd applauds Kevin Kampl as he leaves the pitch. Amadou Haidara steps in for RB Leipzig.
- 82' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 86' The FC Schalke 04 bench stirs into life. Suat Serdar is withdrawn and Steven Skrzybski gets his opportunity.
- 88' Nordi Mukiele is replacing Timo Werner for the RB Leipzig side.
- 89' FC Schalke 04 receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 89.
- The final score is 0-1.
