Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The 28-year-old Dani Olmo has been sensational this season — 4 goals and 9 assists is a remarkable return.
- 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 15' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 16' Maximilian Eggestein has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 16.
- 17' What composure from Lukas Klostermann! The Germany international strokes it home. 1-0.
- 22' Davy Klaassen has been relatively quiet despite scoring 69 goals in his last 425 appearances.
- 27' It’s high time Florian Kohfeldt made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 32' RB Leipzig are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 37' RB Leipzig is showing some good football. However, RB Leipzig are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 39' Patrik Schick adds to his 12 season tally! RB Leipzig lead 2-0 — and this changes everything.
- 44' 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.
- 46' Nordi Mukiele does the damage! The net is bulging and RB Leipzig surge ahead!
- 51' Peter Gulacsi, a Hungary , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 56' 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 Kevin Vogt suffering a number of foals already.
- 60' The RB Leipzig manager makes a substitution. Konrad Laimer departs to be replaced by Amadou Haidara.
- 61' The SV Werder Bremen bench stirs into life. Kevin Vogt is withdrawn and Omer Toprak gets his opportunity.
- 65' Another substitution for SV Werder Bremen to replace Yuya Osako by Josh Sargent on 65 minute.
- 69' Dani Olmo makes way for Emil Forsberg at the 69 minute mark. A tactical switch from RB Leipzig.
- 74' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. RB Leipzig needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 79' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 81' Leonardo Bittencourt makes way for Johannes Eggestein at the 81 minute mark. A tactical switch from SV Werder Bremen.
- 83' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Dayot Upamecano on 83 minutes.
- 88' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from RB Leipzig to claim maximum points.
