Hanche-Olsen goes down
The centre-back was up from defence and goes down in the Leipzig box under the challenge from Seiwald. The Mainz players and fans scream for a penalty, but the referee dismisses the protests. It will, of course, be checked by the VAR.
90'

Stoppage time
Five additional minutes are indicated.
87'
Kohr down
The Mainz defender is down receiving treatment following a collision with Baku. He has since left the field to continue treatment, but seems determined to carry on.
85'
Sieb in behind
The substitute is played through down the right flank, but Raum gets back to make a fantastic recovery challenge to halt the proceedings.
80'
Superb recovery
Diomande plays Rômulo in behind with a fantastic through ball. It looks as though the Brazilian will have a one-on-one with Zentner, but Veratschnig gets back and times a recovery challenge to perfection to force a corner, which Zentner ultimately catches.

Triple change
Bo Henriksen rolls the dice as he makes a triple substitution with 15 minutes to play. Kawasaki, Veratschnig, and Widmer all enter the fray.

Baumgartner dives in
The Austrian attempts a diving header to reach a cross from Diomande, but he can't quite reach it.

Sieb's shot blocked
Some lovely play from Mainz sees Caci release Mwene with a beautiful flick. The ball then falls back to Sieb in the middle, whose effort from inside the box is blocked at source.
70'
Amiri down
Mainz's No.10 stays down after a physical, but fair challenge from Baku. He's back to his feet now, though.
67'
Ch- ch- changes
Bøving's debut is at an end for Mainz as he is replaced by Sieb. As one's comes to an end, another's begins, with Harder coming on to make his debut for Leipzig, replacing the goalscorer Bakayoko. Diomande also comes on for Nusa.

Weiper through on goal!
Caci slips the forward in behind the Leipzig defence. Shoulder-to-shoulder with Orbán, the forward hits it, but Gulácsi denies him with a good stop. It wouldn't have counted anyway, however, as the assistant's flag was raised.

Nusa down
The Norwegian stays down following a mid-air collision, seemingly having landed awkwardly on his arm. He's off the field to receive treatment, though he's yet to be replaced.
50'
In from Bøving
The Mainz debutant fires a cross in from the left, looking for Caci at the far post, but his cross is too inaccurate and Raum can recover the ball for the visitors.
46'
Back underway!
Mainz get the ball rolling for the second half here. Both sides emerge from their respective changing rooms unaltered.

Weiper forced wide
Amiri slips Weiper through on goal, but Orbán does excellently to recover and force the tall German striker wide, snuffing out any threat.

Added time
Two minutes are indicated.

Nordin on the volley!
Mainz look to respond. The ball is loose in the Leipzig box and falls to Nordin, who strikes a sweet, left-footed volley, forcing Gulácsi to tip it over with a great reaction save.
43'
Leipzig brimming with confidence
Die Roten Bullen have their tails up after taking the lead here. First, Romulo smashes the ball just wide from inside the box, following a mazy run from Nusa, before the Norwegian has a chance of his own, shooting straight at Zentner from inside the box.

Amiri dances through
The Mainz No.10 slaloms his way past two defenders and into the Leipzig box, but his subsequent effort is blocked, as is the rebound from Kohr, who arrives into the box to try and smash home the loose ball.
32'
Schlager replaced
It's the visitors who now go to the bench in the first half here, however, this change seems to be out of necessity. Schlager, who had struggled with frequent injury problems throughout last season, is unable to continue and is replaced by Banzuzi.

Leaning back
Again it's Nordin who gets in behind down the right. This time, however, he opts to tee up Mwene in the middle, whose first-time effort from inside the box is blazed over the bar.
25'
Nordin!
The Frenchman has been really lively for Mainz so far this afternoon. Again, the No.9 cuts in off the right and with support on the edge of the box, opts to go it alone. However, his shot flies wide of the left post.
24'
The final pass
Leipzig's defence parts for Nordin, who drives forwards before attempting to slip the ball into the path of Weiper to his right, who would've been through on goal, but the pass is just too inaccurate.

Woodwork!
Nordin drives at his defender down the right for Mainz before letting fly from a tight angle. His effort reverberates off the upright and the rebound falls to Amiri, who blasts it over the bar.

On target
Mainz have been growing into the game in recent minutes and enjoying more possession in advanced areas. Most recently, Caci plays a high cross for Weiper, whose glancing header is on target, but straight into the arms of Gulácsi.

First booking
The challenges have been very physical up to now and you have to say the first cautioning has been coming. This time, it's Bell who arrives very late in a sliding challenge on Rômulo, for which his name is correctly taken. Leipzig can't make anything from Raum's subsequent free-kick, though.
4'
Great ball
Leipzig have started brightly here. Baku plays a teasing cross in behind the backline to Rômulo, who connects with it on the volley. However, the Brazilian gets the finish all wrong, sending it way off target.

More on that Leipzig team
Likewise for Ole Werner's Leipzig, there's only one change: Nicolas Seiwald starts in the midfield, being preferred to Ezechiel Banzuzi, who drops to the bench. Deadline day signing Conrad Harder is named on the bench and could make his first Bundesliga appearance this afternoon.
More on that Mainz team
For Bo Henriksen, there's just the one change to his side that drew 1-1 on the road at Wolfsburg on Matchday 2. New arrival William Bøving makes his debut for the 05ers, starting in place of Jae-sung Lee, who is absent with a thigh injury.
