5' RB Leipzig are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Borussia Dortmund's shape.
10' With 0 assists to his name this season, Angelino is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RB Leipzig.
15' It’s high time Marco Rose made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
20' 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.
25' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
29' Christopher Nkunku does the damage! The net is bulging and RB Leipzig surge ahead!
31' Jude Bellingham picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
36' Borussia Dortmund is showing some good football. However, Borussia Dortmund are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
38' It’s a booking for Borussia Dortmund player. Axel Witsel gets a Yellow card.
40' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Tyler Adams.
45' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RB Leipzig side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
46' A change in the Borussia Dortmund ranks — Marin Pongracic exits the field as Ansgar Knauff enters on 46.
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 Benjamin Henrichs suffering a number of foals already.
52' Marco Reus has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 52 minutes.
55' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Thomas Meunier.
59' The RB Leipzig bench stirs into life. Benjamin Henrichs is withdrawn and Emil Forsberg gets his opportunity.

68' Sensational shot from Yussuf Poulsen. RB Leipzig is back in the lead.
69' The whistle greets Yussuf Poulsen as he departs to be replaced by Andre Silva.
71' A tactical swap from Borussia Dortmund — Youssoufa Moukoko on, Donyell Malen off on 71 minutes.
76' Both keepers have barely been tested. RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
81' Reinier is ready to make an impact after coming on for Julian Brandt at the 81 minute mark.
84' The RB Leipzig bench stirs into life. Christopher Nkunku is withdrawn and Dani Olmo gets his opportunity.
86' The crowd applauds Axel Witsel as he leaves the pitch. Dan-Axel Zagadou steps in for Borussia Dortmund.
88' That is a Yellow card for RB Leipzig. Dominik Szoboszlai will be fuming at that decision.
89' A meaty challenge results in booking for Youssoufa Moukoko on 89.
The points are shared — RB Leipzig 2-1 Borussia Dortmund. Honours even.
