Events

Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Puskas Arena will turn into a battlefield for Liverpool FC and RB Leipzig.
  • 5' 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 Justin Kluivert suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Georginio Wijnaldum made 409 appearances and scored 24 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 15' It’s high time Julian Nagelsmann made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 25' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RB Leipzig needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

  • 45' Liverpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.

  • 51' Tyler Adams has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 56' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 60' The whistle greets Yussuf Poulsen as he departs to be replaced by Hwang Heechan.

  • 71' Time for substitution for Liverpool FC. Diogo Jota is replaced by Divock Origi.
