Events
Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for RB Leipzig to score. At the same time, Holstein Kiel does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 5 minutes.
- 10' It looks surprising RB Leipzig does not make any changes. Phil Harres has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' It’s high time Zsolt Low made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Arthur Vermeeren, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 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 Marko Ivezic suffering a number of foals already.
- 29' Lasse Rosenboom is having his name booked by the referee on 29.
- 34' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 39' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 41' RB Leipzig receives a card for a hard tackle on 41.
- 44' What a strike from Shuto Machino! The score is 0-1.
- 46' Lutsharel Geertruida is replacing Kosta Nedeljkovic for the RB Leipzig side.
- 51' The travelling Holstein Kiel supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Alexander Bernhardsson made 277 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 61' Timo Becker has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 34 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 66' Another change for Holstein Kiel made on 66 minute. David Zec leaves to be changed by Carl Johansson.
- 67' Another change for RB Leipzig made on 67 minute. Peter Gulacsi leaves to be changed by Maarten Vandevoordt.
- 72' Nicolai Remberg needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 74' What a strike from Benjamin Sesko! The score is 1-1.
- 79' Finn Porath has so much to prove this time. He replaces Lasse Rosenboom on 79 minute.
- 84' 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.
- 87' Jann-Fiete Arp is replacing Alexander Bernhardsson for the Holstein Kiel side.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for Jann-Fiete Arp.
- 90' The RB Leipzig manager makes a substitution. Lois Openda departs to be replaced by Yussuf Poulsen.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-1.
