Late chance for Leipzig? The hosts win a free-kick from deep on the left, but they can't fashion any chances from it.

Raum puts the ball in the box The full-back swings a free-kick in from the left. It's cleared, and Gruda has a chance to cross from the right, but Donnarumma gathers. Doku then wastes a chance to seal it for Man City on the break.

Haaland denied by Vandevoordt Leipzig certainly haven't given up, but Man City look closer to scoring right now. Four minutes of additional time are indicated.

Gruda taps the ball in The attacker was standing well offside though, and the goal won't count.

Haaland hits the post Man City attack swiftly, and Haaland latches onto Cherki's pass, but the flag goes up for offside in any case.

Three changes for the visitors Manchester City are threatening to finish strongly with Cherki hitting the crossbar. Leipzig have regularly found chances throughout the game though, so you would not want to count them out of this yet.

Raum rattles the bar! So close to another leveller as David Raum swings a free-kick in from the right over Donnarumma's outstretched arms and straight into the crossbar.

Haaland puts Manchester City ahead The former Borussia Dortmund forward shows his clinical touch when sliding to meet a good ball across the box by Elliot Anderson to send the visitors in front once more.

⚽ 78' Erling Haaland (2-3)

Raum booked The Germany international becomes the fourth Leipzig name in the referee's notebook for a foul. Anderson fired a shot over shortly before, with the visitors starting to threaten again.

Triple change The goalscorers are both taken off as Leipzig's pack is shuffled ahead of the final 15 minutes.

Gomis scoops over Leipzig attacking in numbers, with Nusa charging forward, and Gomis scooping a shot over from the edge of the area.

Attacking switch Tidiam Gomis comes on with everything still to play for in this exciting clash.

City's first switch It's a change of wingers as Doku comes on for Foden.

⚽ 61' Antonio Nusa (2-2)

Fernández fires City ahead It's another unfortunately timed goal for the hosts to concede. Leipzig had chances to go ahead, but Enzo Fernández pounces on an Iliman Ndiaye cross to send an unstoppable header past Vandevoordt.

⚽ 58' Enzo Fernández (1-2)

First change Christopher Nkunku replaces Baumgartner as Demichelis makes an attacking change.

Baku almost bags a brace The game has really opened up now. Haaland forced a Vandevoordt save at one end, and shortly afterwards Baku is teed up on the right but can only drill his shot straight at Donnarumma.

Chances at both ends Man City try to restore their lead immediately, and work the ball forward to Cherki, who doesn't get enough power on his effort from close range. Banzuzi then sends a powerful effort just off-target as Leipzig look to pounce again!

⚽ 49' Ridle Baku (1-1)

Baumgartner has a go now The confident start continues with the midfielder taking a pop in the area and forcing another save from Donnarumma.

Leipzig back out on the front foot Nusa swings in a dangerous cross or shot from the left that Donnarumma turns behind his own goal.

City on top Manchester City are threatening to turn the screw after that fortunate opening goal from their perspective, with Vandevoordt getting hustled now from an underplayed backpass.

O'Reilly wide Man City appear boosted by taking the lead, with their full-back now scuffing a header wide from a good position.

Leipzig trail Misfortune for the Bundesliga outfit, who had really taken the game to the Premier League side. Nico O'Reilly cuts the ball across the goalmouth from the left and Castello Lukeba accidentally slides it straight past Vandevoordt.

Foden goes close Manchester City's best chance so far comes as Phil Foden sets up a shot on the edge of the area skilfully and sends the ball just wide.

Baku booked The Leipzig full-back fouls Nico O'Reilly and gets shown a yellow card.

Gruda has a go Leipzig's strong spell continues as Gruda gets onto the end of a good passing move and slips a shot wide.

Baumgartner just wide! The midfielder gets to bear down on the visitors' area and unleashes a powerful shot from 20 yards out, which sails just wide.

Nice attacking Nusa tries to chip a ball over the defence, and Raum gets a chance to swing a cross in from the left moments later - with the visitors turning it behind for a corner.

Raum whacks one Nusa chases towards the Man City goal and opens up the defence with a good pass out to the right. The ball runs across the goal as the visitors try to clear it, allowing Raum to run up and drill a shot on goal that is blocked.

Booking for Baumgartner The Austrian slides in on Elliot Anderson by the sideline and is shown a yellow card.

Nusa has an effort The Leipzig winger sends a dangerous shot in from just outside the box that Donnarumma can only hoist over his own crossbar. That was promising!

City keeping the ball The visitors have seen 75% possession in the opening phase - but Leipzig have certainly kept them at bay.

Cherki clips shot wide Man City probe Leipzig with a good passing move that sees Cherki have a chance to shoot just outside the box - sending a shot narrowly wide of the target.

Quiet start Manchester City have been keeping possession well as Leipzig try to prize the ball away from them.

Off we go! The English Premier League side get us started.

Moment of reflection Jesús de Miguel, who tragically passed away due to an incident in a Spanish second division match in recent days, is remembered before kick-off.

The teams are out There is more than a tingle of Champions League excitement in the air as we prepare to get going!

Welcome! Follow all of the build-up and live action as RB Leipzig host Manchester City in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday (kick-off: 9pm CET).

Stoppage time A minimum of three additional minutes have been indicated.

Ortiz booked The Betis No.12 is cautioned for a foul on Silva.

Wayward Deossa lets fly from over yards out, firing a wild left-footed attempt well off target.

Stretches his legs Silva shows a burst of pace to wriggle free down the right flank. He's all alone in an advanced position, and by the time support arrives in the form of Karetsas, the Greek's touch gifts possession back to the visitors.

Huge let off! Isco swings a corner in from the left, which falls kindly for Ezzalzouli inside the six-yard box. With the goal gaping, the winger cannot prod home what would have been a second equaliser for Betis, and so the ball rolls harmlessly wide of the target.

Bellingham's name taken Dortmund's No.7 is the latest player to see yellow following a late challenge on Deossa.

Double swap It's Pellegrini's turn to look to his bench, introducing Roca and Antonio Morante for the game's final stages. Parrott and Bernal make way.

Veerman booked Dortmund's Dutch midfielder sees yellow for a foul on the edge of his own penalty area on Isco.

Triple change After taking the lead, Niko Kovač makes three substitutions, introducing Beier, Gadou and Chukwuemeka for Ryerson, Bensebaini and Nmecha.

⚽ 72' Konstantinos Karetsas (2-1)

Another staggering stop from Valles! The Betis goalkeeper is on fire tonight! Ryerson picks out Bellingham with a cross from the right, but the midfielder's close-range headed effort is met by a superb reaction save from Valles.

⚽ 67' Aitor Ruibal (1-1)

Off target Bellingham delivers a sumptuous cross from the right into Svensson's path at the far post, where the Swede's first-time finish is high and wide of the mark. That was a big opportunity for the Dortmund wide player.

First Betis changes Ruibal and club captain Isco are on for Betis, replacing Ceballos and Antony.

So close to a second! Ryerson fires in one of his trademark crosses towards the edge of the six-yard box, where Silva throws himself at the ball, but still fails to make contact at full extension.

Round the corner Dortmund are really clicking now. Svensson plays a one-two with Silva on the edge of the area, but the Swede cannot quite latch onto the return pass from the goalscorer.

⚽ 49' Fabio Silva (1-0)

Over the bar Up the other end, Antony cuts in off the right flank and bends an effort towards the top left corner. The winger leans back as he strikes it, however, sending it curling over the bar.

Early intent Within 30 seconds of the restart, Karetsas bends a low shot towards the bottom corner at the near post. Álvaro Valles is equal to it, though, holding on to the effort.

Back under way! Dortmund get the ball rolling for the second half here. At the break, neither manager has elected to make any substitutions, so both sides resume unchanged.

Bensebaini booked Dortmund's No.5 is cautioned following a foul on Deossa.

Sea of legs Karetsas skips away from his marker before slipping the ball to Bellingham on the edge of Betis' penalty area. The Englishman lines up a shot, but it cannot make it past all the bodies in front of him.

Stoppage time A minimum of four additional minutes have been indicated at the end of the first half here.

Overhit Karetsas looks for Anton at the far post, but the Greek midfielder overcooks his delivery and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.

Natan sees yellow The Betis defender goes into the book for a foul on Karetsas, which presents Dortmund with a free-kick opportunity in a promising position deep inside the visitors' half.

Ceballos continuing The Betis midfielder is back up and is determined to carry on.

First booking Ryerson is shown the first yellow card of the night for a mid-air challenge on Ceballos, who has stayed down following the collision and is receiving treatment.

Intricate A sweeping Dortmund move from right to left involving Bellingham, Karetsas, and Silva culminates in a Svensson cross from the left being blocked behind for a corner. Veerman takes it, but on the second time of asking, Betis clear.

Unable to continue Guirassy's night is at an end. He has been replaced by Karetsas.

Guirassy down The Dortmund forward has gone down and stayed on the turf in an off-ball incident. He has since left the field to receive treatment.

Across the face of goal Ezzalzouli drills a low cross in from the left towards Antony at the near post, whose flick is just too slight to carry the ball goalwards. As such, it rolls behind for a goal-kick.

Wild attempt A Ceballos corner is cleared by Schlotterbeck as far as Ezzalzouli, who fires a first-time volley from just inside the Dortmund box high into the stands.

Straight at Kobel Ezzalzouli once again looks to cut inside off the left flank and shoot. He makes space for the shot in front of Anton, but his low effort is smothered by Kobel.

How did that stay out? What a save from Álvaro Valles! Schotterbeck picks out Ryerson with another sensational long pass high up towards the right wing. There, the Norwegian swings in an inch-perfect cross for Svensson to run onto on the edge of the six-yard box, but the Betis goalkeeper is equal to the Swede's volley with a superb reaction save to preserve the deadlock here.

Disallowed Betis have the ball in the back of Dortmund's net but it will not stand! Deossa slips Parrott in behind, who then slides the ball into the path of Antony, allowing the winger to slot home past Kobel in a one-on-one. Parrott had been fractionally offside in the build-up, though, which was checked and cleared by the VAR.

Always flying wide Ezzalzouli breaks down the left flank before cutting back onto his right foot and curling an effort wide past the right post.

Lifted over Ryerson sends Bellingham through to the byline, from where Dortmund's No.7 cuts the ball back into the path of Guirassy inside Betis' box. Guirassy is always leaning back, though, and fires his first-time effort over the bar.

First corner Svensson floats a delivery from the right towards the far post, finding Bensebaini's head. However, the Dortmund defender's effort is straight at Álvaro Valles.

Patient build-up Dortmund are knocking the ball about very confidently here. Guirassy has even dropped into a midfield position to get involved.

And we're off! Betis get the ball rolling here in Dortmund.
