Bochum down to ten
It goes from bad to worse for Bochum. Moritz-Broni Kwarteng sees Openda steal away with the ball and subsequently hacks down the Belgian. Straight red.

Leipzig running away with it
It's another Leipzig goal and this time it's Poulsen who has the simplest of tasks of slotting home Xavi's assist from close range. The visitors are home free.

Daylight for RBL
Leipzig's subs are proving very effective! The visitors are 3-1 up after Yussuf Poulsen feeds Xavi, who's cross is clipped into his own net by Ivan Ordets.
68'
Leipzig lead
Leipzig are in front and it's Loïs Openda - racing onto Amadou Haidara's slick through pass - who provides the chipped finish. Goalkeeper Andreas Luthe is rightly furious with himself as he got enough of a hand on the ball to comfortably keep the shot out.

Half-time: Bochum 1-1 Leipzig
Honours even at the break following an intriguing first half at the Ruhrstadion. Maximilian Wittek opened the scoring for the hosts with a speculative free kick that Péter Gulácsi could only scoop into the net. Leipzig stuck to their task and equalised via Dani Olmo's delicious strike from distance.

Leipzig level
Dani Olmo finds space on the edge of the area, just to the left of the D, and lets fly with a superb, curling shot that floats in at the top right corner. Fantastic goal.

Leipzig denied
Leipzig think they have pulled level after Benjamin Šeško played Xavi in on the left and the Dutch attacker finished at the near post. After a VAR check, however, the goal is ruled out for offside.

Bochum lead !
After surviving an early scare thanks to Luthe's masterclass at one end, the hosts take the lead following a Péter Gulácsi howler at the other. Wittek's free kick looks straightforward for the Leipzig custodian but the Hungary international scoops it into the net to the delight of the home fans.

Huge save Andreas Luthe
The goalkeeper is back between the Bochum posts with Manuel Riemann suspended and the 36-year-old has just pulled off a superb stop to deny Xavi, who broke clear of the home defence. The Bochum fans are chanting Luthe's name.
