22:00 - Over and out!
That brings an end to today's coverage of Super Saturday. After an international break, the Bundesliga once again does what it does best and makes us fall in love with it all over again! We'll see you tomorrow for the final two fixtures. Until then, good night!
21:20 - Burke makes an immediate impact
On a day super-subs, RB Leipzig's new signing Oliver Burke came off the bench to set up fellow substitute Naby Keita and couldn't stop smiling after the final whistle.
20:55 - Keita revels in win
Naby Keita was a happy man following RB Leipzig's win over Borussia Dortmund.
20:32 - Super Saturday!
It wasn't jam-packed with goals the way some Bundesliga weekends are, but today's action was enough to take your breathe away. The super-subs stole the show in most of the fixtures and we've still got two games to go tomorrow. Excellent!
FULL TIME!
It's all over in Leipzig! An historic win for RB Leipzig in their first ever Bundesliga home game. A day to remember for Ralph Hasenhüttl and Co. and a day to forget for Borussia Dortmund.
89' - RB LEIPZIG 1-0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND
No that isn't a typo! RB Leipzig have taken the lead. Emil Forsberg plays in Oliver Burke, who gets to the byline before playing the ball across goal, where Naby Keita is on hand to slam the ball into the roof of the net.
83' - OFF THE CROSSBAR!
The best chance of the game goes Dortmund's way. They had Leipzig outnumbered at the back as Andre Schürrle bundled past his marker. He could have gone down, but kept his feet. However, instead of laying the ball off to a team-mate, he goes for goal himself and sees his effort clip the top of the crossbar.
79' - Three good chances for Leipzig!
Timo Werner's pace and work rate have made him a real threat tonight and the youngster, signed from Stuttgart in the summer, twice goes close to an opener, first hitting the side-netting and then stinging the palms of Roman Bürki. Minutes later Dominik Kaiser's corner is met by the head of Marcel Halstenberg, forcing Raphael Guerreiro to clear off the line.
70' - Fresh faces
Oliver Burke has come on to make his debut for Leipzig, while Thomas Tuchel has called upon the services of Ousmane Dembele and Raphael Guerreiro. Dembele almost makes an immediate impact as he gets involved in a foray forward, twice playing in Lukasz Piszczek, who can't pick out a team-mate with either of his crosses.
64' - Forsberg enters the fray
Ralph Hasenhüttl brings on Sweden international Emil Forsberg for Marcel Sabitzer. Can the winger make the desired impact in this fast-paced encounter?
55' - Pace but no end product
There's been an end-to-end feel about the encounter since the restart. The action is fast-paced, and neither side are taking any prisoners, but we're still short of real goalscoring chances.
SECOND HALF!
Based on the way today's other fixtures have gone I think it's fair to say that we can expect goals in the second half...at least, lets hope so!
HALF TIME!
It's rather surprising that we're goalless at the break, but for now we're still waiting on the opening goal between RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund.
43' - Kaiser goes close
Dominik Kaiser's set-pieces have been a great source of threat for Leipzig in the first half and the captain again flashes a dangerous delivery across the face of goal that whistles just past the far post.
40' - On a knife's edge
Right now this game could go either way. Both sides are demonstrating great ambition going forward, whilst also defending determinedly. Marc Bartra, in particular, is looking very solid at the back for Dortmund.
30' - Big chance for BVB
With RB Leipzig looking to counter, Dortmund are the ones dictating the pace of proceedings. The visitors are stretching the play well and almost take the lead as Marcel Schmelzer, Sebastian Rode, Mario Götze all combine to set up Andre Schürrle, whose shot is just wide of the far post.
23' - A difficult question to answer at the best of times
18' - Auba with the opening chance
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pokes a volley just past the far post. Both teams are getting into the final third, but a lack of end product is hampering their advances.
10' - Lively start
The early exchanges have been full of pace and purpose from both sides. A couple of fouls in midfield have hindered the rhythm of the game, but this looks like it's going to be an exciting encounter.
KICK OFF!
We're underway in the final game of this super Saturday as RB Leipzig play host to Borussia Dortmund in their first ever Bundesliga home game.

54’ - GOAL! FREIBURG 1-1 GLADBACH

HALF TIME!

41' - Chances at both ends
Both teams have gone close at the BayArena. First, Admir Mehmedi powers a close-range header straight at Rene Adler, before Nicolai Müller is denied by Leno after latching onto Michael Gregoritsch’s through ball. Still goalless.
35’ - GOAL! FREIBURG 0-1 GLADBACH
Pick that one out! Thorgan Hazard, who scored a hat-trick in the recent 6-1 demolition of Young Boys in the Champions League play-off second leg, curls in an absolute beauty from 30 yards out to put the Foals in front. What a strike that was!
31' - Wolves edging closer
Daniel Didavi has just missed a glorious chance to put Wolfsburg ahead against Köln, firing over the crossbar from point-blank range. Mario Gomez has also tested keeper Sven Müller’s palms with a low effort from the edge of the box, but it remains goalless at the Volkswagen Arena.

"We believe in our own strengths," says RB Leipzig head coach Ralph Hasenhüttl ahead of this evening's historic encounter with Dortmund - the newly promoted club's home debut in the Bundesliga. "We know all about the quality of the opposition, but we have no fear."
13:59 - Hertha's tough nut to crack
After securing a last-gasp win over Freiburg on the opening weekend, can Hertha get the better of an Ingolstadt side who have lost only of their one nine Bundesliga matches on home soil in 2016?
13:36 - Capacity crowd expected in Leverkusen
13:00 - Black Forest delight
The sun is out in Germany's sunniest city, but will it be shining on hosts Freiburg when Gladbach come to town later this afternoon?
12:40 - Darmstadt fans in fine voice
The atmosphere is building nicely ahead of the Hessen derby between SV Darmstadt 98 and Eintacht Frankfurt at the newly named Jonathan-Heimes-Stadion-am-Böllenfalltor.
12:27 - Confident Foals
12:03 - Gomez to start?
Could this man be in line to start his first Bundesliga match in over three years? Wolfsburg didn't need him last weekend as they cruised to victory at FC Augsburg, but Wolves fans would be delighted to see Mario Gomez's name in the starting line-up this afternoon.
11:22 - 'If I know Chicha, he’ll be ready to play'
Leverkusen head coach Roger Schmidt is hopeful Chicharito will be fit to start today's game against Hamburg, telling kicker on Friday: "If I know Chicha, he'll be ready to play on Saturday."
