Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 7' Time for substitution for RB Leipzig. Emil Forsberg is replaced by Tyler Adams.
  • 12' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 17' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RB Leipzig needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 22' Arminia Bielefeld is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 26' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Andres Andrade.
  • 31' It looks surprising Arminia Bielefeld does not make any changes. Sebastian Vasiliadis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 36' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 513 games and scored 719 goals.
  • 41' Christopher Nkunku has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 24 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
  • 46' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
  • 51' 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 Andre Silva suffering a number of foals already.
  • 56' 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.
  • 57' Goal! Janni-Luca Serra scores his 13 goal in 277 matches.
  • 58' The Arminia Bielefeld manager makes a substitution. Janni-Luca Serra departs to be replaced by Fabian Klos.
