10:04 p.m
Fabio Carvalho tries from a distance, but aims straight at Gulácsi from 20 meters.
59.
22:03
Leipzig has slowly arrived in this second half and is becoming more offensive again. However, the move to the goal is still missing and all crosses are easily defended by the SVWW.
57.
22:01
Seiwald’s next mistake! In the back row, the Austrian loses the ball to Fechner, who immediately sets off. But 20 meters from the goal, Fechner runs out of steam and doesn’t know what to do next. So Seiwald can make up for his mistake and win the ball back.
56.
9:59 p.m
Forsberg takes an RB corner briefly, gets the ball back and then crosses it to the second post. Klostermann is pretty free there, but barely hits the ball when he tries to volley.
54.
9:58 p.m
The first sign of life from Leipzig comes from Emil Forsberg, who lets two Wiesbadeners out in the penalty area, but then gets stuck on the third.
51.
9:54 p.m
SVWW is much better off in this second half than Leipzig. The home side are more aggressive and win almost every duel.
49.
9:53 p.m
Bätzner wants to take the free kick directly on goal, but sets his attempt much too high.
48.
9:52 p.m
Nicolas Seiwald is still the biggest uncertainty factor in the RB defense. First he loses the ball to Prtajin, who doesn’t do much with it, then he unnecessarily causes a free kick 30 meters from the goal.
47.
9:51 p.m
Wehen Wiesbaden starts boldly and immediately pushes Leipzig into their own penalty area. Substitute Bätzner and Prtajin keep working on things, but ultimately RB can clarify.

Kick-off of the 2nd half
45.+3
9:36 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
Defending champion RB Leipzig leads SV Wehen Wiesbaden 2-1 at halftime! The Saxons dominated the game for long stretches, but also had a hard time against the home team’s massive defense. Nevertheless, RB took an early 2-0 lead as the second division team helped a lot with goals from Forsberg and Šeško. The guests then managed their lead confidently for a long time without having any great chances up front. Shortly before the break, the Bundesliga team also made a mistake in defense when Seiwald allowed himself to be left far too easily behind by Prtajin and he reduced the score to 1:2. So there is definitely still excitement here for the second round. See you soon!

Yellow card for Thijmen Goppel (SV Wehen Wiesbaden)

Official injury time (minutes): 2

9:31 p.m
Stritzel! Lukeba sends Fabio Carvalho into the lane with a wonderful 30-meter through ball and he tries to shoot past the keeper from 15 meters. But Stritzel extends his arm and steers the ball strongly towards the corner.
43.
9:30 p.m
Even though the hosts certainly deserved a goal, it came completely out of nowhere. Does this give the home team another boost?
41.
9:26 p.m
Tooor for SV Wehen Wiesbaden, 1:2 by Ivan Prtajin
That was easy! Martin Angha hits a long ball towards Prtajin from the halfway line. In the duel with Seiwald, the Croatian simply puts his body in and shakes it off in the simplest way. Then Prtajin coolly lobs the ball over the rushing Gulácsi and there’s tension again.
40.
9:26 p.m
RB now has the game better under control and is hardly allowing the SVWW to develop. Seiwald finds Poulsen in the penalty area, who passes through strongly for Šeško. The Slovenian then plays across the goal, but there is no one in the middle.
37.
9:23 p.m
Fabio Carvalho takes a free kick in a promising position 35 meters to the left of the goal. Christopher Lenz pulls the ball sharply towards the penalty, but only finds Sascha Mockenhaupt, who clears it with his head.
34.
9:19 p.m
Thijmen Goppel has space on the left and wants to find Prtajin with a half-field cross, but hits the ball straight into the goal. Of course, that’s not enough if you want to annoy the big favorites from Leipzig here.
31.
9:16 p.m
Wehen Wiesbaden works out a corner. Of course, the 2.01 meter long Aleksandar Vukotić is wanted, but RB keeper Péter Gulácsi gets the ball. The SVWW sticks with it and follows up, but doesn’t find a conclusion.
29.
9:15 p.m
Leipzig can combine as they wish up to 40 meters in front of the opponent’s goal. Only then do the homeowners take action and consistently close the rooms. So far, RB has little idea.
26.
9:12 p.m
Forsberg is not attacked hard enough in front of the penalty area and tries a one-two with Šeško. The ball comes via a detour to Fabio Carvalho, who shoots with his left from 20 meters. The ball rushes past the goal a few meters to the left.
23.
9:10 p.m
The Hessians don’t let the interim result throw them off course and continue to sell well. Leipzig hardly finds a gap and always has to be alert at the back.
21.
9:06 p.m
Wiesbaden continues to try with quick switching actions and now gets Froese up to speed again on the right, but his through ball for Angha is then too imprecise.
18.
9:03 p.m
Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0:2 by Benjamin Šeško
Bitter for the SVWW! The home side actually defend well and don’t allow much, but again they invite RB with an individual mistake. Fabio Carvalho’s chip ball into the box is not dangerous in itself and lands at Mathisen, who doesn’t clear it but instead crosses it perfectly for Šeško. The Slovenian nets a dry shot into the left corner from nine meters. Stritzel has no chance.
16.
9:02 p.m
On the other hand, RB has that Triple chance to make it 2-0! After a great effort from Mathisen, Šeško is up and running, but is denied by keeper Stritzel. The rebound falls at Poulsen’s feet, but he shoots at a defender from ten meters. Last but not least, Fabio Carvalho takes the second follow-up shot from 16 meters and shoots the ball over it.
14.
9:00 p.m
The second division team again! Hyun-ju Lee picks up the pace on the left, moves into the box and shoots towards the far corner. Péter Gulácsi goes long and parries, then Christopher Lenz clears.
12.
8:59 p.m
First graduation for Wehen Wiesbaden! Leipzig is unable to clear properly in its own penalty area several times and then Sascha Mockenhaupt comes rushing in. 25 meters centrally in front of the goal, the ball practically falls at his feet, but the right-footed shot goes clearly over.
10.
20:56
The hosts wanted to avoid a start like that. Two lapses in their own defense gave the Bulls the lead here. Of course, Leipzig plays into this, the ball continues to run smoothly.
7.
20:51
Tooor for RB Leipzig, 0-1 by Emil Forsberg
With the first opportunity the Bundesliga team takes the lead! After a cross from the left half of the field, Poulsen has too much space ten meters centrally in front of the goal and heads powerfully towards the goal. Keeper Stritzel can only clap forward and then Emil Forsberg, who is also very free, switches gears fastest. With great technique, the Swede volleys the ball into the roof from eleven meters.
6.
20:51
This is how it should work for the home team: After winning the ball in their own half, the SVWW breaks free and then things happen quickly. Froese is sent on the right, plays to his speed and passes inside at the level of the penalty area. Prtajin narrowly misses in the middle.
3.
8:48 p.m
The game starts off pretty disjointed. Leipzig has the ball a lot, but always loses it again and again. Wiesbaden plays against the ball with a chain of five and makes the spaces in their own half narrow.
1.
8:45 p.m
The ball is rolling! The home team is playing in red and black today, RB is wearing white.
8:39 p.m
The game will be led by referee Robert Hartmann and his assistants Christian Pfarrer and Markus Schüller. The VAR is not yet used in the first round of the cup.
8:32 p.m
The paths of these two clubs have already crossed once. In the 2013/14 season both were represented in the third division. At that time, SVWW won the home game 2-1, Leipzig also won 1-0 in front of their home crowd.
20:27
Marco Rose warned in advance not to take the game lightly. “If we do Larifari and think that it can be done with half our asses, we will have problems,” stated the RB coach and demanded full concentration from his team: “SV Wehen Wiesbaden is a very unpleasant second division team to play against. We have to Being there to the point is the most important thing.”
8:20 p.m
The guests from Leipzig got off to a strong start in the new season and already seem very well-coordinated despite a completely renewed squad. RB has won six of the first seven competitive games, already clinched its first title of the season with the Supercup and also got off to a successful start in the premier class. Above all, the new offensive dream pair of Lois Openda and Xavi Simons impresses week after week. Simons also prepared Timo Werner’s decisive 1-0 win in Mönchengladbach at the weekend. However, Werner is missing today with back problems, Xavi and Openda will be rested for the time being.
20:12
Is the duel with RB coming at exactly the wrong time? Not for coach Markus Kauczinski. “We’re actually happy that things are moving on straight away, that we don’t have to put up with such a bad game,” said the coach of the second division team. Kauczinski sees his team as a “small lamp compared to Leipzig”, but still believes in a chance. “This is a game in which you have to be at your limit. We won’t get many chances, so we have to take advantage of them,” said the 53-year-old.
8:04 p.m
With SV Wehen Wiesbaden, the Bulls got one of the toughest possible draws. However, the second division newcomer is currently in its first small crisis. After a dream start with seven points from the first three games, SVWW has now been winless in four games and suffered three defeats. Most recently in the duel between the promoted teams there was a bitter 0-2 home defeat against Elversberg, in which Wehen Wiesbaden disappointed across the board.
19:59
SVWW coach Markus Kauczinski is also making five new changes. Aleksandar Vukotić, Hyun-ju Lee, Bjarke Jacobsen, Ivan Prtajin and Sascha Mockenhaupt start for Florian Carstens, Robin Heußer, Nico Rieble, Franko Kovačević and Julius Kade (all bench).
7:55 p.m
We’ll take a look at the lineups and see that Marco Rose is rotating a lot. As expected, Péter Gulácsi is making his comeback in goal after an injury break of almost a year and is relegating Janis Blaswich to the bench for today. In addition, compared to the weekend, Christopher Lenz, Lukas Klostermann, Nicolas Seiwald, Yussuf Poulsen and Emil Forsberg start instead of David Raum, Mohamed Simakan, Xaver Schlager, Xavi Simons and Loïs Openda (all bench).
7:47 p.m
47 days after it began, the first round of the DFB Cup finally ends today. Since the DFL Supercup has been held since last season on the traditional DFB Cup weekend before the start of the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig, like FC Bayern, has to serve detention this year. Munich already secured their ticket for the second round yesterday, today RB wants to follow suit and lay the foundation for a possible title defense.
7:45 p.m
Hello and welcome to the DFB Cup on Wednesday evening! In the last remaining game of the first round, second division team SV Wehen Wiesbaden and defending champions RB Leipzig face each other. It starts at 8:45 p.m. in the Brita Arena!
