Events
Match Events
- 0' Here we go! The referee blows the whistle and VfB Stuttgart launch into their encounter with RB Leipzig.
- 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 Lukas Klostermann suffering a number of foals already.
- 8' What composure from Christopher Nkunku! The France international strokes it home. 0-1.
- 13' 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.
- 18' 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.
- 19' It’s a booking for RB Leipzig player. Domenico Tedesco gets a Yellow card.
- 24' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. VfB Stuttgart needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 29' With 4 assists to his name this season, Dani Olmo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for RB Leipzig.
- 31' A stunning finish from Naouirou Ahamada — that came from absolutely nowhere!
- 36' The 30-year-old Andre Silva has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 41' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both VfB Stuttgart and RB Leipzig are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
- 46' Wataru Endo has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 28 cards already picked up this season.
- 51' It’s high time Pellegrino Matarazzo made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 56' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 59' The supporters are chanting for Dominik Szoboszlai. He replaces Kevin Kampl on 59 minute.
- 64' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His VfB Stuttgart side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 69' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
- 74' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 74 minutes.
- 79' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 84' Konstantinos Mavropanos has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
- 89' It looks surprising RB Leipzig does not make any changes. Tiago Tomas has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- will have plenty to reflect on. were simply the better side today.
