Events

Match Events

0' Welcome to Red Bull Arena Leipzig that hosts another battle between RB Leipzig and Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
5' 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 Benjamin Henrichs suffering a number of foals already.

15' A quiet spell here at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. RB Leipzig seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
