Goal! Behrens slides it home
The two substitutes combine to compound Leipzig's misery. Svanberg fires a low cross toward the far post from inside the box, and Behrens is there to slide it home.
90'
Silva goes close
A neat combination with Openda sees Silva gain half a yard of space on the edge of the box, which he uses to curl one toward the top corner - but it goes just over the bar.

Another defeat on the horizon
Leipzig are heading for defeat having conceded four goals for the second week running.

Brilliant from Nusa
Some brilliant skill and a driving run from Nusa wins a corner for Leipzig. The first is cleared, as is the second.

Still no clear chance
The hosts have had plenty of the ball in the opposition half, but are again struggling to open them up.
55'
Corner - after deliberation
After Arnold's volley is deflected wide, Wolfsburg have their first corner of the game. It takes a while before it's taken due to a handball review, and is then cleared by Leipzig.

Wasted corner

Tough to beat

Leipzig under fire
Amoura shoots from outside the area, forcing a save from Gulácsi which rebounds to Baku. The wing-back takes a touch before tamely shooting into the Leipzig 'keeper's hands; it could certainly have been worse for Leipzig, who have looked all at sea defensively today.
37'
Baku goes close!
A Wolfsburg breakaway ends with Baku shooting from close range to the right of the box, but Gulácsi gets down well to keep it at 3-0.

Missed opportunity
Openda breaks away and is eventually joined by Baumgart as he reaches the edge of Wolfsburg's box. He tries to find his teammate, but gets the timing of his pass all wrong, missing a great opportunity to capitalise on an exposed Wolfsburg backline.

Nusa fires over
The youngster tries to curl it home from distance, but his first-time effort flies way over.

Openda offside
Baumgart heads a lofted ball back toward Openda, who volleys over first-time, and is then called offside.
