Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! RB Leipzig vs 1. FC Koln — let the football do the talking.

  • 19' The referee has no hesitation. Mohamed Simakan is booked for RB Leipzig — Yellow card on 19.
  • 24' 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 Gian-Luca Waldschmidt suffering a number of foals already.
  • 29' Julian Chabot has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 29.
  • 34' 1. FC Koln are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 35' It’s a booking for RB Leipzig player. Marco Rose gets a Yellow card.
  • 40' GOAL! Lois Openda scores on 40. Assisted by Xavi Simons
  • 43' What a moment for Marvin Schwabe! That strike on 43 puts his side firmly in control.

  • 48' Lois Openda adds to his 1 season tally! RB Leipzig lead 3-1 — and this changes everything.
  • 53' Davie Selke is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for RB Leipzig tonight.
  • 58' named a 3-4-1-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 63' Christoph Baumgartner is ready to make an impact after coming on for Timo Werner at the 63 minute mark.
  • 68' 1. FC Koln started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 68.
  • 70' RB Leipzig ring the changes. Dani Olmo has done his job and it is now time for Fabio Carvalho to step up.
  • 72' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Mathias Olesen.
  • 75' RB Leipzig ring the changes. Lois Openda has done his job and it is now time for Christopher Lenz to step up.
  • 78' The referee calls foul for Lukas Klostermann. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 80' Mathias Olesen is having his name booked by the referee on 80.
  • 82' A moment of madness from Steffen Baumgart on 82 minutes earns him a Yellow card. 1. FC Koln will be frustrated.
  • 86' Luca Kilian picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 88' Benjamin Sesko has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 88 minutes.
