Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against RB Leipzig and Bayer 04 Leverkusen has kicked off!
  • 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 Jeremie Frimpong suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Benjamin Sesko is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
  • 15' RB Leipzig currently sit 5 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 18' Patrik Schick has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 18 minutes.
  • 23' Aleix Garcia has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 202 appearances.
  • 28' It is a cagey affair so far. RB Leipzig in their 3-4-2-1 trying to find a way past Bayer 04 Leverkusen's compact 4-2-3-1.
  • 33' Lukas Hradecky has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 36' GOAL! Aleix Garcia fires home to make it 0-2!
  • 40' It’s gonna be a card for Robert Andrich.
  • 41' GOAL! David Raum scores on 41.

  • 46' Exequiel Palacios has so much to prove this time. He replaces Robert Andrich on 46 minute.
  • 51' A tactical swap from RB Leipzig — Nicolas Seiwald on, Kevin Kampl off on 51 minutes.
