Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for RB Leipzig to score. At the same time, 1. FC Union Berlin does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' The 32-year-old Rani Khedira has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' Germany international Andreas Voglsammer has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
  • 15' RB Leipzig are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' 1. FC Union Berlin is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Union Berlin are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohamed Simakan made 373 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 35' Grischa Promel has been relatively quiet despite scoring 20 goals in his last 446 appearances.
  • 40' Kevin Behrens has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 45' It looks like no one’s ball. 1. FC Union Berlin is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 46' Yussuf Poulsen puts RB Leipzig on the lead.
  • 51' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 56' The travelling 1. FC Union Berlin supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 61' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 63' Dani Olmo gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Emil Forsberg and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 64' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Kevin Kampl by Konrad Laimer on 64 minute.
  • 68' Andras Schafer makes way for Andreas Voglsammer at the 68 minute mark. A tactical switch from 1. FC Union Berlin.
  • 73' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RB Leipzig side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 75' Dominik Szoboszlai is replacing Christopher Nkunku for the RB Leipzig side.
  • 76' Julian Ryerson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Christopher Trimmel at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' 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 Tyler Adams suffering a number of foals already.
  • 83' It is a substitution in RB Leipzig team. Nordi Mukiele is replaced by Benjamin Henrichs on 83 minute.
  • 85' A change in the 1. FC Union Berlin ranks — Taiwo Awoniyi exits the field as Kevin Behrens enters on 85.
  • 86' What an equalizer from Sven Michel!
