Events

Match Events

0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for RB Leipzig to score. At the same time, Manchester City FC does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
5' RB Leipzig have won 734 goals from 519 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
10' It is a cagey affair so far. RB Leipzig in their 4-2-3-1 trying to find a way past Manchester City FC's compact 3-2-4-1.
15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bernardo Silva, as he is very good at scoring at Red Bull Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
25' Brilliant from the midfielder! Phil Foden makes it 0-1 with a superb finish on 25.
30' Both keepers have barely been tested. RB Leipzig and Manchester City FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
35' Lukas Klostermann has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 15 cards already picked up this season.
40' With 1 assists to his name this season, Matheus Nunes is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RB Leipzig.
45' Erling Haaland is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester City FC so far.
48' Goal! Lois Openda scores his 105 goal in 359 matches.
53' RB Leipzig are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Manchester City FC backline.
58' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester City FC that had 444 games and scored 1039 goals.
63' Manchester City FC 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.
66' Manchester City FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 66.
70' The supporters are chanting for Benjamin Sesko. He replaces Emil Forsberg on 70 minute.
72' Nathan Ake is replacing Jack Grealish for the Manchester City FC side.
73' Xaver Schlager catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 73.
75' Time for substitution for RB Leipzig. Yussuf Poulsen is replaced by Christoph Baumgartner.
78' The referee shows RB Leipzig player a Yellow card on 78.
79' The Manchester City FC manager makes a substitution. Phil Foden departs to be replaced by Julian Alvarez.
84' Sensational shot from Julian Alvarez. Manchester City FC is back in the lead.
86' Time for substitution for RB Leipzig. Nicolas Seiwald is replaced by Amadou Haidara.
87' Manchester City FC ring the changes. Bernardo Silva has done his job and it is now time for Matheus Nunes to step up.
