Events

Match Events

  • 0' SV Werder Bremen have kicked off against RB Leipzig. Both sides are eager to make an early statement.
  • 5' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 10' 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.
  • 15' RB Leipzig has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 2 of the last 2 meetings.
  • 20' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Florian Kohfeldt will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 25' 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 Milos Veljkovic suffering a number of foals already.
  • 30' The energy levels are beginning to show. Julian Nagelsmann might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Amadou Haidara picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 40' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. SV Werder Bremen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 45' 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' Fresh legs for RB Leipzig! Christopher Nkunku comes on to replace Amadou Haidara.
  • 51' SV Werder Bremen is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 56' Supporters expect more eagerness from Amadou Haidara, as he is very good at scoring at Wohninvest WESERSTADION with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 61' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 66' Yuya Osako gets the nod from SV Werder Bremen. He replaces Niclas Fullkrug and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 71' Benjamin Henrichs has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 73' SV Werder Bremen ring the changes. Jean-Manuel Mbom has done his job and it is now time for Leonardo Bittencourt to step up.
  • 74' A change in the RB Leipzig ranks — Marcel Sabitzer exits the field as Yussuf Poulsen enters on 74.
  • 79' Theodor Gebre Selassie, a Czech Republic , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 84' RB Leipzig are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 89' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 90' The whistle greets Alexander Sorloth as he departs to be replaced by Hwang Heechan.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 1-2.
