Events

Match Events

  • 0' KICK OFF: RB Leipzig gets underway.
  • 1' What a strike from Lois Openda! The score is 0-1.
  • 6' RB Leipzig is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 11' It looks like no one’s ball. SV Darmstadt 98 is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 16' 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.
  • 21' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fabian Holland, as he is very good at scoring at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 24' A stunning finish from Emil Forsberg — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 29' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Mohamed Simakan made 368 appearances and scored 11 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 32' Magnificent from Tobias Kempe! That is 9 goals in 241 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' Andreas Muller has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 46' That is a Yellow card for SV Darmstadt 98. Fabian Holland will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' The referee calls foul for Christoph Klarer. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 55' 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.
  • 58' Fabian Holland makes way for Fabian Schnellhardt at the 58 minute mark. A tactical switch from SV Darmstadt 98.
  • 60' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Fabian Nurnberger on 60 minutes.
  • 62' The RB Leipzig manager makes a substitution. Emil Forsberg departs to be replaced by Christoph Baumgartner.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for David Raum.
  • 64' The crowd applauds Christoph Klarer as he leaves the pitch. Klaus Gjasula steps in for SV Darmstadt 98.
  • 67' SV Darmstadt 98 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 68' Matej Maglica has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 68.
  • 69' Lois Openda is having his name booked by the referee on 69.
  • 71' SV Darmstadt 98 player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 75' What a moment for Lois Openda! That strike on 75 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 79' A moment of madness from Kevin Kampl on 79 minutes earns him a Yellow card. RB Leipzig will be frustrated.
  • 80' Timo Werner is ready to make an impact after coming on for Lois Openda at the 80 minute mark.
  • 85' Over 85 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 90' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
