- 0' Welcome to Old Trafford that hosts another battle between Manchester United FC and RB Leipzig.
- 5' Angelino needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 10' 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 Aaron Wan-Bissaka suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anthony Martial, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 23 goals in the last 18 games.
- 21' Goal! Mason Greenwood scores his 66 goal in 409 matches.
- 26' Manchester United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 34' It’s a booking for Manchester United FC player. Nemanja Matic gets a Yellow card.
- 39' 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.

- 46' RB Leipzig player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
- 51' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 56' Kevin Kampl has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 61' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 409 games and scored 674 goals.
- 63' The whistle greets Mason Greenwood as he departs to be replaced by Marcus Rashford.
