Match Events
- 0' The match kicks off with home fans waiting with anticipation for Bayer 04 Leverkusen to score. At the same time, RB Leipzig does not seem to pull back! Let’s get it on!
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. RB Leipzig is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' Antonio Nusa has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 14' It’s a booking for RB Leipzig player. Max Finkgrafe gets a card.
- 19' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Bayer 04 Leverkusen needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 24' 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.
- 25' Bayer 04 Leverkusen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Patrik Schick on 25.
- 30' Supporters expect more eagerness from Alejandro Grimaldo, as he is very good at scoring at BayArena with 6 goals in the last 4 games.
- 35' It’s high time Ole Werner made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 40' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 2 times this season with Bayer 04 Leverkusen winning 100% of all matches.
- 45' Goal! Nathan Tella scores his 31 goal in 337 matches.
- 50' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Bayer 04 Leverkusen that had 531 games and scored 629 goals.
- 55' RB Leipzig started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 55.
- 60' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 65' It looks surprising RB Leipzig does not make any changes. Willi Orban has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 70' 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 Edmond Tapsoba suffering a number of foals already.
- 72' Xaver Schlager was booked on 72.
- 76' Goal! Patrik Schick scores his 80 goal in 514 matches.
- 80' GOAL! Christoph Baumgartner scores on 80. Assisted by Brajan Gruda
- 85' 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.
- 86' The referee calls foul for Christoph Baumgartner. He receives a card.
- 89' GOAL! Patrik Schick scores on 89. Assisted by Alejandro Grimaldo
- Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Bayer 04 Leverkusen players.
