  • 40' RB Leipzig has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 45' It’s high time Steffen Baumgart made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 50' RB Leipzig are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined 1. FC Koln backline.
  • 54' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Dani Olmo makes it 2-0.
