Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Red Bull Arena that hosts another battle between RB Leipzig and 1. FC Köln.
  • 5' 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.
  • 10' The travelling 1. FC Köln supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' 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 Kingsley Ehizibue suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Over 20 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 22' Assisted by Christopher Nkunku with the perfectly-timed delivery and Timo Werner makes no mistake. 1-0!

  • 51' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 56' Both keepers have barely been tested. RB Leipzig and 1. FC Köln are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 59' 1. FC Koln ring the changes. Kingsley Schindler has done his job and it is now time for Marcel Risse to step up.
  • 64' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 66' 1. FC Koln player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 70' The whistle greets Marco Hoger as he departs to be replaced by Simon Terodde.
  • 75' It looks surprising 1. FC Köln does not make any changes. Kingsley Schindler has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
