Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Red Bull Arena Leipzig. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' The travelling Sporting Clube de Portugal supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 10' RB Leipzig is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' 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 Lutsharel Geertruida suffering a number of foals already.
- 19' Goal! Benjamin Sesko scores his 42 goal in 222 matches.
- 24' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 24 minutes.
- 29' The supporters are chanting for Goncalo Inacio. He replaces Jerry St. Juste on 29 minute.
- 34' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Goncalo Inacio made 505 appearances and scored 19 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' RB Leipzig 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.
- 44' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 49' 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.
- 54' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 55' It is a substitution in Sporting Clube de Portugal team. Zeno Debast is replaced by Hidemasa Morita on 55 minute.
- 60' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Sporting Clube de Portugal that had 505 games and scored 676 goals.
- 61' It is a substitution in RB Leipzig team. David Raum is replaced by Lukas Klostermann on 61 minute.
- 66' Arthur Vermeeren needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
- 69' Kevin Kampl is replacing Amadou Haidara for the RB Leipzig side.
- 74' It looks surprising Sporting Clube de Portugal does not make any changes. Willi Orban has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 75' GOAL! Viktor Gyokeres scores on 75. Assisted by Daniel Braganca
- 78' GOAL! Yussuf Poulsen scores on 78. Assisted by Christoph Baumgartner
- 79' David Raum is having his name booked by the referee on 79.
- 84' The whistle greets Christoph Baumgartner as he departs to be replaced by Arthur Vermeeren.
- 86' RB Leipzig receives a card for a hard tackle on 86.
- 87' That looks like a foul for a card for Willi Orban.
- Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-1.
