Events
Match Events
- 0' And we are off! VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig — let the football do the talking.
- 5' Stefan Ilsanker has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 6' The referee calls foul for Willi Orban. He receives a Yellow card.
- 11' Both keepers have barely been tested. VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 16' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 21' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Timo Werner made 166 appearances and scored 115 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 26' Admir Mehmedi has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
- 31' 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 Marcelo Saracchi suffering a number of foals already.
- 36' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
- 41' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.

- 55' The travelling RB Leipzig supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 60' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 65' RB Leipzig have won 719 goals from 513 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
- 70' The crowd applauds Willi Orban as he leaves the pitch. Marcelo Saracchi steps in for RB Leipzig.
- 73' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Admir Mehmedi departs to be replaced by Renato Steffen.
- 78' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
