Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Red Bull Arena Leipzig will turn into a battlefield for RB Leipzig and Liverpool FC.
- 5' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 8' The referee shows RB Leipzig player a card on 8.
- 12' The referee calls foul for Alexis Mac Allister. He receives a card.
- 17' Trent Alexander-Arnold has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 54 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 22' Liverpool FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 22.
- 23' A meaty challenge results in booking for Lutsharel Geertruida on 23.
- 27' Liverpool FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Darwin Nunez on 27.
- 32' The travelling Liverpool FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 37' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 42' It looks surprising RB Leipzig does not make any changes. Cody Gakpo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 47' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Castello Lukeba made 424 appearances and scored 7 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Liverpool FC that had 409 games and scored 805 goals.
- 57' 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 Antonio Nusa suffering a number of foals already.
- 62' It looks like no one’s ball. Liverpool FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 63' The Liverpool FC manager makes a substitution. Mohamed Salah departs to be replaced by Luis Diaz.
- 68' Curtis Jones needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
- 73' Supporters expect more eagerness from Benjamin Sesko, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena Leipzig with 5 goals in the last 4 games.
- 74' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Benjamin Sesko by Christoph Baumgartner on 74 minute.
- 75' The supporters are chanting for Andrew Robertson. He replaces Kostas Tsimikas on 75 minute.
- 78' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Xavi Simons by Yussuf Poulsen on 78 minute.
- 83' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 86' The whistle greets Amadou Haidara as he departs to be replaced by Eljif Elmas.
- Full Time. Liverpool FC beats RB Leipzig
