Events

Match Events

  • 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for RB Leipzig to score. At the same time, SV Werder Bremen does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
  • 5' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 10' Both keepers have barely been tested. RB Leipzig and SV Werder Bremen are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SV Werder Bremen that had 414 games and scored 370 goals.
  • 20' 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 Benjamin Henrichs suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Niklas Stark.
  • 27' Jiri Pavlenka is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for RB Leipzig so far.
  • 32' RB Leipzig are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against SV Werder Bremen's shape.
  • 36' Benjamin Henrichs picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 41' Niklas Schmidt has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 46' Willi Orban has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 30 cards already picked up this season.
  • 51' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His RB Leipzig side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 56' 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.
  • 57' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Jung.
  • 58' Poor challenge from Marco Friedl. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 63' The travelling SV Werder Bremen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 68' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 68 minutes.
  • 70' What a moment for Leonardo Bittencourt! That strike on 70 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 71' Time for substitution for RB Leipzig. Amadou Haidara is replaced by Kevin Kampl.
  • 73' RB Leipzig player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 74' The referee has no hesitation. Leonardo Bittencourt is booked for SV Werder Bremen — Yellow card on 74.
  • 76' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Emil Forsberg by Yussuf Poulsen on 76 minute.
  • 77' Ilia Gruev makes way for Niklas Schmidt at the 77 minute mark. A tactical switch from SV Werder Bremen.
