Match Events

  • 0' In just a few seconds Vonovia Ruhrstadion will turn into a battlefield for VfL Bochum 1848 and RB Leipzig.
  • 5' 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.
  • 7' Goal! Maximilian Wittek scores his 7 goal in 313 matches.
  • 12' 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 Christoph Baumgartner suffering a number of foals already.
  • 17' Lois Openda has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 24 cards already picked up this season.
  • 22' VfL Bochum 1848 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.
  • 27' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 30' What a moment for Dani Olmo! That strike on 30 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 35' A quiet spell here at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. RB Leipzig seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 38' That is a card for VfL Bochum 1848. Moritz Broschinski will be fuming at that decision.
  • 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering RB Leipzig that had 513 games and scored 719 goals.
  • 45' A meaty challenge results in booking for Amadou Haidara on 45.
  • 50' VfL Bochum 1848 currently sit 15 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 55' RB Leipzig are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 65' Another substitution for RB Leipzig to replace Benjamin Sesko by Lois Openda on 65 minute.
  • 66' VfL Bochum 1848 player sees a card in front of him.
  • 68' What a moment for Lois Openda! That strike on 68 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 71' Goal! Ivan Ordets scores his 8 goal in 203 matches.
  • 72' Goal! Yussuf Poulsen scores his 70 goal in 513 matches.
  • 72' The VfL Bochum 1848 bench stirs into life. Moritz Broschinski is withdrawn and Philipp Hofmann gets his opportunity.
  • 77' Poor challenge from Ivan Ordets. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 78' The supporters are chanting for Mohamed Simakan. He replaces Benjamin Henrichs on 78 minute.
  • 81' That is a card for RB Leipzig. Mohamed Simakan will be fuming at that decision.
  • 86' The referee calls foul for Moritz-Broni Kwarteng. He receives a card.
  • 88' The VfL Bochum 1848 manager makes a substitution. Takuma Asano departs to be replaced by Goncalo Paciencia.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for RB Leipzig players.
