Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' 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.
- 13' The referee has no hesitation. Niklas Stark is booked for Hertha BSC — Yellow card on 13.
- 17' RB Leipzig is taking the lead after the goal scored by Emil Forsberg on 17.
- 22' 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.
- 27' GOAL! Yussuf Poulsen fires home to make it 2-0!
- 32' Marko Grujic has been relatively quiet despite scoring 15 goals in his last 469 appearances.
- 37' Marcel Halstenberg needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 3 Red cards this season.
- 42' Nordi Mukiele picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
- 47' It looks surprising Hertha BSC does not make any changes. Lukas Klunter has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 52' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 56' What a strike from Yussuf Poulsen! The score is 3-0.
- 59' Lukas Klunter gets the nod from Hertha BSC. He replaces Fabian Lustenberger and will look to change the dynamic.
- 62' Yussuf Poulsen does the damage! The net is bulging and RB Leipzig surge ahead!
- 64' Magnificent from Amadou Haidara! That is 19 goals in 222 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
- 65' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Nordi Mukiele by Konrad Laimer on 65 minute.
- 70' Matheus Cunha has so much to prove this time. He replaces Yussuf Poulsen on 70 minute.
- 75' Hertha BSC make a change. Salomon Kalou trudges off to be replaced by Mathew Leckie on 75 minutes.
- 77' Hertha BSC ring the changes. Arne Maier has done his job and it is now time for Per Skjelbred to step up.
- 82' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ralf Rangnick will be considering his options from the bench.
- 87' Ibrahima Konate has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- The points are shared — RB Leipzig 5-0 Hertha BSC. Honours even.
