Openda free before Nübel!
45+2
21:17
A little blood runs down Poulsen’s head. Basically, he seems to be fine otherwise. In any case, he walks quite relaxed to the sidelines, where a bandage may be put on him.
45+1
21:16
Now Poulsen and Zagadou clash their heads. The Danish striker in particular needs quick treatment. Hopefully it stays with a slight headache.
45
21:15
Official injury time (minutes): 2
44
21:15
Some situations are now whistled against Leipzig. The decisions are right, but the emotions boil at least slightly.
42
21:13
Dani Olmo has a bit of luck when he asserts himself in the penalty area and briefly has a clear shot. In the very, very last moment, however, Karazor steps in between to deflect the ball into the goal.
41
21:11
With great calm, Stenzel lets the ball drip from his chest to the goalkeeper. He is certainly one of the shooting stars of this very young season.
40
21:10
VfB pushes a good deal deeper. Very little space is left for the home side, who are actually so keen on free space… regardless of the left-back.
37
21:08
Just as Leipzig seemed to be getting better, Stuttgart strikes cold as ice. It’s a game of mistakes and the red bulls made it!
35
21:05
Tooor for VfB Stuttgart, 0:1 by Serhou Guirassy
Now it works better! Raum plays a disaster pass towards Kampl, allowing Karazor to intervene and immediately serve Guirassy. Against the incoming Orban, he remains very calm, lets the defender run into space with the faked shot before he hits the bottom left corner in the corner! Blaswich is on but can’t do anything from close range!
35
21:05
Good chance for Guirassy! Führich crosses from the left to Guirassy’s head, but he can’t get the ball down properly from close range. That’s how the leather rushes over the goal!
34
21:05
Simons has the next chance! With great technique he pulls the ball on goal. However, it is too central, which is why Nübel can secure the flutter ball in the follow-up!
33
21:03
In the back room, Henrichs finds the hit hit. He has to take the bouncing ball from half a turn, but only pulls it centimeters to the right over the crossbar!
30
21:00
In the last few minutes, Willenborg often has to intervene, which disrupts the flow of the game and should primarily annoy Leipzig.
28
20:58
Now Openda just takes the conclusion. From 17 meters he shoots through the legs of Zagadou just below the right!
28
20:58
Simakan comes to a halt after blocking Jeong’s cross. It hit him painfully in the ribs, but after a short break it continues.
27
20:57
The path to the offensive does not really work for the Swabians. Guirassy in particular is largely unsubscribed and only works up front to hold the ball against a majority of defenders.
25
20:55
RB gets stuck in the guests’ penalty area for a moment, but it’s just not enough to finish. There’s always a leg in the way.
23
20:53
There is little to tell in a playful way. Stuttgart has the opposition and the Red Bulls’ offensive pretty well under control. Leipzig currently has to hope for a gap in order to then strike with great efficiency. A flood of opportunities is not to be expected.
21
20:52
Around 2,700 fans traveled from Stuttgart and provided great support. Maybe the alcohol ban in their own stadium has something to do with it, which they can escape in Leipzig to enjoy some ice-cold beers.
19
20:49
So far, VfB has played very well. It is a balanced league duel in the first 20 minutes.
16
20:47
With his left fist raised, Nübel clears a sharp cross from space.
14
20:44
While Marco Rose indicates a wrong throw-in by the Swabians, Stenzel gets the corner ball on the right. However, similar to Leipzig, this is beheaded at the first post out of the danger zone.
12.
20:42
With the steep pass to Poulsen, Nübel hesitates for half a second when running out. This makes things tight for a moment, but in the end the keeper puts his foot on the ball first and rectifies the situation.
11.
20:42
From the left, Raum hits a corner kick halfway up the first post. Dani Olmo was able to head in this way against Leverkusen. Here, however, the cross is blocked.
10
20:41
As in the opening game, Leipzig allows the opponent some ball possession passages. They certainly want to lure the opponent in order to then have room for switching moments.
7.
20:38
The Leipzig counterattacked immediately until Kampl got the ball. In the penalty area, he has to turn around his own axis, takes a moment too long and is finally blocked when he shoots.
6.
20:37
First double chance for Stuttgart! Führich drives the ball half-left into the penalty area at high speed, places the ball briefly on his right foot and pulls it off powerfully. Blaswich can only bounce the ball forward, but Guirassy’s follow-up shot from twelve meters flies over the goal!
5.
20:35
About 22 meters in front of the goal, Olmo arranges the ball. Next to him is David Raum, but the Spaniard flicks the ball towards the goal and against the wall.
4.
20:34
After winning the ball high, Poulsen gets a free kick directly in front of the penalty area against Jeong.
3.
20:33
It goes quickly from one side to the other. There are still no chances here.
1.
20:31
Willenborg releases the game. Stuttgart toasts in the unfamiliar green alternate jersey. Let’s go wild!
20:27
Both teams step out onto the lawn of the Red Bull Arena. Numerous away fans and the club song create a fantastic atmosphere. It will not be long!
20:21
44-year-old Frank Willenborg will lead the duel between Leipzig and Stuttgart. Line judges Guido Kleve and Arne Aarnink watch the action from the sidelines to support the man from Osnabrück.
20:13
Leipzig is not only the clear favorite among bookmakers, the statistics also give RB self-confidence. The Red Bulls are unbeaten in ten games against Stuttgart. The Saxons recorded eight wins and two draws. However, the points had to be hard fought for last year. So, on a good day, there’s a surprise in store.
20:06
Sebastian Hoeneß doesn’t really have much reason to change, but one position is exchanged. Last week Enzo Millot was the acclaimed replacement for Watarun Endo who had left the club, but today he’s back on the bench. Apparently Lilian Egloff outstripped him in training. In addition, Leonidas Stergiou is also a newcomer to the squad for the first time.
19:57
Marco Rose changes to two positions and relies on long-established forces. Kevin Kampl and Yussuf Poulsen rotate into the starting XI. This will replace new signing Nicolas Seiwald and Timo Werner, who has been weakening this summer. Christoph Baumgartner and Benjamin Šeško are also sitting on the bench for the first time.
19:48
The situation is completely different for the suffering Stuttgarters. After the last-minute relegation last year, the Swabians shot Bochum out of the stadium on the first day of the game. The club with the breast ring won 5:0, but it is important to classify the success correctly. Because although VfB played superbly, it shouldn’t be forgotten how desolate the North Rhine-Westphalian opponents were. Against Leipzig it should be much more difficult to score goals.
19:40
How much is the Supercup worth now? Leipzig may have asked themselves this or a similar question after the defeat in Leverkusen. While RBL still rode a wave of euphoria after beating Bayern, disillusionment quickly set in against the Werkself from the Rhein. At the back, the Saxons revealed many gaps that could not be corrected by the offensive. Right from the start, the red bulls are three points behind the competition.
19:29
Goals guaranteed at Leipzig against Stuttgart! While some want to come back from a setback, others want to confirm the successful start. Welcome!
