Tempers flare
Following an out-swinging Tolkin corner from the left, Arp felt as though he was caught by a high boot, but for his reaction, the Kiel man sees yellow.

Mistimed
Arp has a free header on the edge of the Leipzig box, but he gets the timing all wrong and fails to connect with the header. That could've been it for the Storks!
90'

Poulsen!
Poulsen is played through into the Kiel box with a good pass. The substitute lets the ball roll across his body before letting fly, but his powerful effort is met by an equally strong save from Dähne.
90'

Late double change
Gomis and Poulsen enter the fray in search of a dramatic late winner for Die Roten Bullen. But will they find it..?

Arp!
Driving down the right flank, Harres whips a cross into Arp at the far post, who tries to make space for a shot, but sees his effort blocked.

Added time
Eight additional minutes are indicated, due to the stoppage after the collision between Zec and Gulácsi.

One final change
It's one more roll of the dice from Marcel Rapp, who introduces Arp for Bernhardsson as the Storks continue to search for a winner.

Over from Baumgartner
Once again, it's the Austrian midfielder who lets fly at the Kiel goal, but this time, his effort is hit well over the bar.

Baumgartner bends it
The Austrian just about manages to get a shot away from the edge of the box. Aiming for the bottom right corner with a curled effort, he forces a great save out of Thomas Dähne.
84'
Kiel corner
Tolkin whips it in from the right, but it's straight into the hands of Vandevoordt.
82'
In from the right
Geertruida wins a corner down the right for Leipzig and tries to lift the crowd. Seiwald takes it, but a really strong Kiel header clears the danger.
80'
Double change
Rapp makes attacking-minded substitutions as he sends Porath and Harres out onto the pitch in the hopes of reclaiming the lead.

Disallowed!
Baumgartner turns his man about 35 yards from goal before slipping Openda in behind. The Belgian opens his body and curls a great finish into the far corner with his first touch, but the assistant had his flag raised; Openda was clearly offside.

Šeško levels it!
The Slovenian steps up to take the penalty, ice-coolly dispatching it into the bottom right corner, sending Dähne diving the other way. Game on!
73'
Openda brought down!
Seiwald plays a good ball in behind for Openda to chase. The Belgian just gets there ahead of Dähne, who had come off his line, and brings Leipzig's No. 11 down. The referee points to the spot...
72'
A lull in play
The long stoppage whilst both players received treatment has just slowed the pace of the game a little since the restart. The ball is repeatedly getting overturned in the midfield.
67'
Unable to continue
Both Zec and Gulácsi leave the field following the clash of heads under concussion protocol and are replaced by Johansson and Vandevoordt, respectively. Zec managed to leave the field himself, whilst Gulácsi was stretchered off. Let's hope that it's nothing too serious for either player. Knudsen also came on for Skrzybski in the wake of all of that.

Collision
Leipzig misplace another pass on the edge of the Kiel box, and the visitors instantly look to counter. Bernhardsson plays Zec through, who had made a bursting run up from the back. Gulácsi comes off his line to clear it, colliding with Zec at full tilt in the process. There's no inkling of a foul, but there's a lengthy stoppage as both players stayed down after that.
60'
Just wide
Bernhardsson cuts in off the right flank before letting a left-footed shot fly from the edge of the box. His effort whistles narrowly past the right post. Gulácsi may not have been getting there...
57'
Geertruida!
Following another Leipzig corner which Kiel clear, the ball falls to Geertruida, who drives at the Kiel defence, looking for an opening. Eventually, he is forced to cross, which nearly loops over Dähne, and in, but the Kiel keeper was alert to the danger and gets up well to make the catch.

Miscommunication
A promising-looking Leipzig attack sees Openda slip Baumgartner through in the Kiel box. There seems to be some confusion between the Austrian and Bitshiabu, allowing Kiel to get a block in behind for a corner. The set-piece comes in from the left, but Dähne is there to punch it clear.
52'
Combining well
Machino's chipped ball over the Leipzig defence releases Tolkin down the left. The American wing-back plays it on to Skrzybski, who tries to lay it back off to him with a backheel, but Klostermann manages to clear. Bernhardsson retrieves it and shoots from the edge of the box, but the powerful effort is blocked.

Seiwald on the free-kick
Zec gives away a foul near the right touchline. Seiwald takes, fizzing in a low cross which bounces in the box before falling to Baumgartner, who gets a touch on it, taking it just wide of the left post.
46'
Back underway!
Leipzig gets the ball rolling again for the second half here. As expected, Zsolt Lőw makes changes at half-time, bringing Haidara and Geertruida on for Vermeeren and Nedeljkovic as they chase the game.

Half-time
45'
Finally Kiel punish Leipzig!
You can't say that hasn't been coming. From the goalkeeper, Kiel play out from the back to beat Leipzig's press once again. Rosenboom is found on the right, who then plays Skrzybski through down the channel. The No. 7 gets his head up, spots Machino at the far post, and just plays it into his path, allowing the Japanese international to smash it home from inside the box. 1-0!
42'
Ivezić!
The Kiel centre-back gets on the end of the Tolkin-taken free-kick, but he can only steer the header over the bar. Kiel are still just lacking that precision in the final third.
41'
Klostermann penalised
The Leipzig centre-back sees yellow for impeding Remberg and preventing a Kiel counter-attack.

37'
Wrong option
Kiel work it really nicely out of defence to beat the Leipzig press. Rosenboom is played through down the right flank, but his attempted through ball to Machino is intercepted. That move had real potential...
33'
Under the kosh
Leipzig have been struggling somewhat in the last five minutes as Kiel are applying the pressure. Most recently, a Tolkin corner from the left was met by a Kiel head in the box, but Leipzig managed to clear.
31'
Skrzybski!
The ball drops kindly for Kiel's attacking midfielder inside the Leipzig box. The No. 7 strikes a low attempt, but drags it well wide of the left post.
29'
First yellow
Rosenboom is the first player to go into the book this afternoon for preventing a counter-attack by impeding Baumgartner.
28'
Long throw-in
Machino's long throw troubles Gulácsi, who can only punch it straight back to the Japanese international. The Kiel man tries to follow it up with a cross, but Lukeba and Batshiabu come across to close him down.

Clash of heads
After that corner, Bernhardsson and Klostermann stayed down, their heads having collided in mid-air. After a moment is allowed for them to compose themselves, play resumes.
21'
Machino!
Kiel counter-attack nicely, with Bernhardsson finding Machino on the edge of the box. The Japanese international tries to get past Nedeljkovic, but the full-back stays with him, blocking the shot behind for a corner. The visitors can't make anything of it, though.
17'
Watched it all the way
Openda wins a free-kick on the left wing just inside the Kiel half. Seiwald takes, floating it into the box. No player manages to get a head on it, and it travels all the way through to Dähne, but the keeper kept a close eye on the ball, clasping it in his hands.

12'
Remberg down
There's a stoppage as Kiel midfielder Remberg stays down following a challenge. He gets to his feet to have further treatment on the sidelines, but he has since returned to the pitch.
9'
Two bites of the cherry
Tolkin takes the subsequent corner, his deep delivery proving uncomfortable for Gulácsi, who tips it behind for another corner from the opposite side. The American takes again, but fails to trouble the Leipzig goal on the second time of asking.
9'
So close!
Skrzybski intercepts a pass at the back from Leipzig and instantly looks to punish the hosts. He spots Gulácsi off his line, attempting a chipped effort from around 40 yards, but the goalkeeper just manages to scramble back to tip it behind for a corner.
6'
On target
Šeško is played in behind with a lofted ball. In bringing it down from high, the striker just allows the defence to get back, forcing him to cross it to Vermeeren . The Belgian connects well with the header, but it's straight at Dähne.
5'
Just wide!
Leipzig work it well down the right with Nedeljkovic, Baku and Seiwald combining. The latter plays a low cross into the box, finding Šeško at the front post. Everyone expected the next to bulge, but the Slovenian's finish just flies narrowly right of the post.
3'
Another corner
Zec gives it away at the back for Kiel and Openda pounces on the loose ball, but Kiel get back to help it behind for a corner. This time, the Storks manage to head it clear, the delivery not really troubling the visitors.
2'
Early corner
Skrzybski concedes it for Kiel. Seiwald takes, an out-swinger from the right, finding Baumgartner at the front post. The Austrian volleys it, but it's well over the bar.
1'
And we're off!
It's visitors Kiel who get the ball rolling here in Leipzig.
