Tooor for RB Leipzig, 1: 0 by André Silva

20:09
The Red Bulls manage to shift the game towards the Augsburg half. However, there is no real danger in the guests’ penalty area.
36
20:06
Yellow card for Emil Forsberg (RB Leipzig)
Forsberg chases the ball away from Pedersen with a strong tackle, but also hits his opponent. The yellow card smells a bit like a bad decision.
34
20:04
The RBL goalgetter is back on the pitch in full working gear, but he can’t get a pass from the right wing. The FCA defense is still very close to the man and also condenses the center.
32
20:03
Gouweleeuw clears Nkunku and kicks the Leipziger against the distance, whereupon his sock tears. The kit manager can’t find a replacement quickly and sprints into the dressing room. Meanwhile, Nkunku has to go down for a bit.
29
19:59
Really not much happens in this Sunday evening game. Both defensive lines usually nip opposing attacks in the bud. If someone then comes through, the last ball is too imprecise.
26
19:56
Mukiele, Forsberg and Kampl are ready for a free kick from 28 meters out. Ultimately it is Mukiele whose shot is blocked by Gregoritsch. The offensive drive that the Saxons already showed in their last games is still recognizable today.
24
19:54
Kampl has an eye for Henrichs, who starts from the left, and serves his team-mate with an opening pass into the depths. However, the subsequent pass into the box lacks precision again. Henrichs plays directly to Oxford, who resolutely clears and hits the ball out of danger.
21
19:51
After a courageous start, there is not much left to see from the Bavarian Swabians. The FCA remains poisonous in the pressing and continues to play along. For their part, the Leipzigers develop significantly more bite when recapturing lost balls and thus keep their guests away from their own third very effectively.
18
19:49
After a Nkunku pass, Silva heads on to Mukiele, who falls in the sixteen accompanied by Oxford. Too clumsy for the referee, who decides to continue playing despite slight contact.
15
19:44
Reece Oxford wants to clear without any trouble and shoots at the supporting leg, which gives the Saxons a corner. After a short ball, the next erratic pass comes, which Kevin Kampl has to laboriously sprint to get the back pass to keeper Péter Gulácsi before the lurking Carlos Gruezo.
12
19:43
The Red Bulls gained a little more security for a short period of time with a longer phase of possession, but the next Augsburg attack promptly rolled out after carelessly losing the ball. The Fuggerstadt team quickly combine to the front and don’t hesitate to finish. Gruezo’s left-footed shot from 18 yards goes well past Gulácsi’s goal to the left. Kick RB Leipzig.

19:39
Leipzig, who started nervously, are gradually recovering. The FCA still stays on the trigger and exudes a lot more security when in possession of the ball.
6
19:37
With the first significant advance, RBL now has a really big opportunity. Mukiele is suspicious of offside through to the right and then serves Silva exemplary in the run, who does not push the ball over the line with his left hand from six meters, but tries to use the pass with the right outside instep. The unsuccessful conclusion ends up in the safe hands of Gikiewicz.
5
19:35
The Bavarian Swabians have been doing really well so far. RB Leipzig seems completely surprised by the brave start of the Fuggerstadt. The Saxons barely get beyond the center line.
2
19:32
What’s going on here? The FCA starts like the fire brigade and comes straight to the next opportunity. Klostermann slips away and the ball lands on Gregoritsch and Pedersen at Caligiuri, who has to find an extremely acute angle on the right side of the baseline. The conclusion is technically strong, but only goes to the outside network.
1
19:31
After just ten seconds, FCA comes to the first conclusion. Gregoritsch claims a high ball with his head and the ball lands on Pedersen, who simply shoots from 17 meters. The end rushes dangerously to the top left corner, but Gulácsi clears the corner with a flight insert.

Kick-off in Leipzig. The Red Bulls play in their white shirts over red shorts. The guests from Augsburg are dressed all in black. Here we go.
19:02
There have been a total of 15 meetings between the two teams so far and RB Leipzig leads the direct comparison with eight wins (four draws, three defeats). Incidentally, the Red Bulls suffered all three defeats in their first five games with FC Augsburg. The Saxons are currently unbeaten in ten encounters with the Fuggerstadt team. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw.
18:55
Recently, FCA also got under the wheels in their own stadium when there was a 1: 4 defeat against 1. FC Köln last week. Coach Markus Weinzierl then also made four changes: Robert Gumny, André Hahn (both on the bench), Iago (bruised knee) and Ruben Vargas (sprained in the final training session) are out today. Mads Pedersen, Florian Niederlechner, Felix Uduokhai and Lasse Günther, for whom it is the starting XI debut in the Bundesliga, are new to the team.
18:49
FC Augsburg have lost three of their last four league games and come to the Red Bull Arena with a poor away record. Not only did the Fuggerstadt team only get one of a possible 15 points from their five appearances in the Bundesliga with the Red Bulls, but FCA have also had little to gain away from home in recent months. In the 2022 calendar year, the Bavarian Swabians lost five of their eight away games in the Bundesliga.
18:43
On Thursday evening, the Red Bulls lost 3-1 at Glasgow Rangers and thus gambled away the narrow 1-0 win in the first leg. As a result, Domenico Tedesco is rotating to four positions today: Emil Forsberg, André Silva, Marcel Halstenberg and Nordi Mukiele are preferred to Angeliño, Dani Olmo, Yussuf Poulsen (all three benches) and Joško Gvardiol (right knee irritation).
18:38
After the Red Bulls went unbeaten in 15 consecutive competitive games between the beginning of February and the end of April, there have recently been several setbacks. For the first time under Domenico Tedesco, the Saxons lost two league games in a row before being eliminated in the Europa League semi-finals during the week. The Saxons have lost three of the last four competitive games, but they could benefit from yesterday’s defeat of Freiburg tonight. Just one point against FCA is enough to regain fourth place.
Good evening and welcome from the Red Bull Arena. This is where RB Leipzig will welcome FC Augsburg at 7:30 p.m. today as part of the 33rd match day of the Bundesliga.
