  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' The energy levels are beginning to show. Florian Kohfeldt might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 15' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both RB Leipzig and SV Werder Bremen are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 20' 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.

  • 67' The deadlock is broken! Max Kruse gets on the scoresheet on 67 minutes.

  • 77' What a strike from Josh Sargent! The score is 2-2.
  • 81' The RB Leipzig bench stirs into life. Willi Orban is withdrawn and Bruma gets his opportunity.
