Events

Match Events

  • 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and VfB Stuttgart launch into their encounter with RB Leipzig.
  • 5' RB Leipzig looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker scoring 0 goals.
  • 6' Yussuf Poulsen puts RB Leipzig on the lead.
  • 11' Mario Gomez is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for VfB Stuttgart so far.
  • 16' The Switzerland Steven Zuber breaks the deadlock on 16 minutes. 1-1!
  • 21' RB Leipzig fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 22' The referee shows VfB Stuttgart player a Yellow card on 22.
  • 24' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Diego Demme.
  • 29' The home supporters are growing impatient. VfB Stuttgart must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 34' Peter Gulacsi is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for VfB Stuttgart tonight.
  • 39' Stefan Ilsanker, a Austria , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 44' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 49' 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 Alexander Esswein suffering a number of foals already.
  • 54' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 59' Bruma is ready to make an impact after coming on for Emil Forsberg at the 59 minute mark.

  • 68' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Marcel Sabitzer makes it 1-2.
  • 73' RB Leipzig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 73.

  • 74' A change in the VfB Stuttgart ranks — Gonzalo Castro exits the field as Daniel Didavi enters on 74.
  • 78' RB Leipzig ring the changes. Timo Werner has done his job and it is now time for Stefan Ilsanker to step up.
  • 80' The crowd applauds Andreas Beck as he leaves the pitch. Tasos Donis steps in for VfB Stuttgart.
  • 85' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 86' Emiliano Insua makes way for Borna Sosa at the 86 minute mark. A tactical switch from VfB Stuttgart.
  • 90' A change in the RB Leipzig ranks — Yussuf Poulsen exits the field as Matheus Cunha enters on 90.
  • What a match! Full time at {STADIUM} — VfB Stuttgart 1-3 RB Leipzig.
