Events
Match Events
- 0' Three points are at stake. RB Leipzig host Eintracht Frankfurt — let the battle begin!
- 5' The 26-year-old Lutsharel Geertruida has been sensational this season — 1 goals and 2 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' RB Leipzig are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Eintracht Frankfurt backline.
- 15' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ellyes Skhiri, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena Leipzig with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 20' Maarten Vandevoordt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 326 appearances.
- 25' 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 Ansgar Knauff suffering a number of foals already.
- 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 31' Benjamin Sesko doubles the advantage! 1-0 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 36' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 41' The travelling Eintracht Frankfurt supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 45' The referee has no hesitation. Nicolas Seiwald is booked for RB Leipzig — card on 45.

- 55' Mario Gotze makes way for Niels Nkounkou at the 55 minute mark. A tactical switch from Eintracht Frankfurt.
- 58' The deadlock is broken! Lois Openda gets on the scoresheet on 58 minutes.

- 76' Benjamin Sesko makes way for Andre Silva at the 76 minute mark. A tactical switch from RB Leipzig.
- 81' Over 81 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.

- 84' Lukas Klostermann is ready to make an impact after coming on for Antonio Nusa at the 84 minute mark.
