Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: VfB Stuttgart gets underway.
  • 5' 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 Dennis Aogo suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The home supporters are growing impatient. RB Leipzig must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 15' RB Leipzig are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against VfB Stuttgart's shape.
  • 20' VfB Stuttgart is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Pablo Maffeo, as he is very good at scoring at with 0 goals in the last 0 games.

  • 34' The referee shows VfB Stuttgart player a Yellow card on 34.
  • 36' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Willi Orban.

  • 54' The VfB Stuttgart manager makes a substitution. Pablo Maffeo departs to be replaced by Holger Badstuber.
  • 59' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 64' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Nordi Mukiele.
  • 69' 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.
  • 74' The whistle greets Timo Werner as he departs to be replaced by Jean-Kevin Augustin.
  • 77' Konrad Laimer gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Nordi Mukiele and will look to change the dynamic.

  • 80' Assisted by Marcel Halstenberg with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jean-Kevin Augustin makes no mistake. 3-0!
  • 85' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 87' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Nicolas Gonzalez.
  • 89' It is a substitution in RB Leipzig team. Emil Forsberg is replaced by Stefan Ilsanker on 89 minute.
