Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: RB Leipzig gets underway.
- 5' 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.
- 10' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 15' Edmond Tapsoba has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 20' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lukas Hradecky made 541 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 25' RB Leipzig are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Bayer 04 Leverkusen backline.
- 30' 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 Karim Bellarabi suffering a number of foals already.

- 59' Time for substitution for Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Moussa Diaby is replaced by Karim Bellarabi.
- 60' Poor challenge from Karim Bellarabi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 65' Bayer 04 Leverkusen have won 751 goals from 541 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 70' Yussuf Poulsen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Alexander Sorloth on 70 minute.
- 75' Leon Bailey has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 75.
- 80' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
