Events
Match Events
- 0' RB Leipzig have kicked off against Aston Villa FC. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
- 3' John McGinn adds to his 2 season tally! Aston Villa FC lead 0-1 — and this changes everything.
- 8' 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 Emiliano Buendia suffering a number of foals already.
- 13' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 18' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. RB Leipzig seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 23' named a 4-4-2 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 27' Goal! Lois Openda scores his 105 goal in 359 matches.
- 32' Supporters expect more eagerness from Peter Gulacsi, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena Leipzig with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 37' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Unai Emery will be considering his options from the bench.
- 42' Youri Tielemans has been relatively quiet despite scoring 44 goals in his last 427 appearances.
- 45' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Lucas Digne.
- 46' Aston Villa FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jhon Duran is hanging Ollie Watkins on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' Aston Villa FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 52' Goal! Jhon Duran scores his 25 goal in 286 matches.
- 57' The energy levels are beginning to show. Marco Rose might look to freshen things up shortly.
