Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! VfL Wolfsburg vs RB Leipzig — let the football do the talking.
  • 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.
  • 10' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 14' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Emil Forsberg makes it 0-1.
  • 19' Felix Kalu Nmecha has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 20 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
  • 24' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 29' RB Leipzig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 29.
  • 34' 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.
  • 39' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 44' RB Leipzig is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 46' A change in the VfL Wolfsburg ranks — Paulo Otavio exits the field as Maxence Lacroix enters on 46.
  • 51' Christopher Nkunku has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
  • 56' Timo Werner, a Germany , has 15 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 59' The VfL Wolfsburg manager makes a substitution. Patrick Wimmer departs to be replaced by Mattias Svanberg.
  • 64' Yannick Gerhardt is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for VfL Wolfsburg tonight.
  • 65' David Raum was booked on 65.
  • 69' Christopher Nkunku is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andre Silva at the 69 minute mark.
  • 74' The whistle greets Felix Kalu Nmecha as he departs to be replaced by Lukas Ambros.
  • 75' A change in the RB Leipzig ranks — Emil Forsberg exits the field as Konrad Laimer enters on 75.
  • 80' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Konrad Laimer made 513 appearances and scored 21 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 85' What a strike from Konrad Laimer! The score is 0-2.
  • 88' Kevin Kampl gets the nod from RB Leipzig. He replaces Amadou Haidara and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Sebastiaan Bornauw on 90 minutes.
  • Another three points for RB Leipzig.
