Events
Match Events
- 0' KICK OFF: Celtic FC gets underway.
- 5' Konrad Laimer, a Austria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 10' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 513 games and scored 719 goals.
- 15' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 15 minutes.
- 20' Jack Hendry is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Celtic FC tonight.
- 25' RB Leipzig currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 30' Jozo Simunovic is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Celtic FC so far.
- 31' RB Leipzig is taking the lead after the goal scored by Matheus Cunha on 31.
- 35' The Guinea-Bissau Bruma breaks the deadlock on 35 minutes. 2-0!
- 40' Scotland international Lewis Morgan has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
- 45' RB Leipzig 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.
- 46' The crowd applauds Cristian Gamboa as he leaves the pitch. Mikael Lustig steps in for Celtic FC.
- 51' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 56' A quiet spell here at . Celtic FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 61' Stefan Ilsanker is ready to make an impact after coming on for Marcel Sabitzer at the 61 minute mark.
- 65' RB Leipzig receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 65.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dedryck Boyata made 410 appearances and scored 8 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 71' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Lewis Morgan by Scott Sinclair on 71 minute.
- 75' The Celtic FC bench stirs into life. Jozo Simunovic is withdrawn and Jack Hendry gets his opportunity.
- 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 84' The supporters are chanting for Erik Majetschak. He replaces Kevin Kampl on 84 minute.
- 86' Dedryck Boyata picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 89' A moment of madness from Konrad Laimer on 89 minutes earns him a Yellow card. RB Leipzig will be frustrated.
- 90' The supporters are chanting for Yussuf Poulsen. He replaces Jean-Kevin Augustin on 90 minute.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for RB Leipzig and Celtic FC (для сухой ничьи).
