80'
Good chance for the hosts
Skrzybski wriggles free of a tight area in the midfield. He spreads the play to Porath, who puts in another good cross, this time towards Bernhardsson. He miscontrols it but chases the second ball, managing to get a shot away but taking it off the foot of the on-rushing Harres. It ends up in the side netting.

Wrong side of the post
Porath plays in Harres, who unleashes a snap-shot in the box. The net appears to bulge, but the ball had gone narrowly wide of the post and behind the goal.
74'
Vermeeren booked
The midfielder picks up a yellow for a challenge on Finn Porath.

Openda shoots
Kiel have a chance with Skrzybski, whose shot is blocked by Vermeeren on the edge of the box. Leipzig counter immediately, playing it long to Openda. He makes space for a shot with his right, but Weiner is equal to it at his near post.
69'
Silva steps up!
The recently introduced Silva takes the penalty; coolly dispatching it into the bottom-left corner and sending Weiner the wrong way. 2-0 to Leipzig!
68'
Penalty to Leipzig!
Nusa plays a defence-splitting pass for Openda to run onto. Schulz brings him down with a clumsy challenge inside the box and the referee points to the spot. Schulz was booked for the challenge and Weiner receives a yellow card for his protest.
66'
Off the bar!
Machino maraudes down the left. He plays a cross into Harres, who miscontrols it but Skrzybski picks up the loose ball and lets a shot fly from inside the box, rattling the crossbar.
65'
Triple change for Leipzig
Šeško, Geertruida and Haidara all make room for Silva, Klostermann and Schlager. Marco Rose is proving that, despite his side's extensive injury list, they still have strong squad depth.

Golden chance for Skrzybski
Kiel win it high up the pitch thanks to Machino. He plays Porath through and Kiel have a two-against-one. The wide man squares it into Skrzybski in the middle, who slides to reach the ball, making contact, but he can't generate enough power to beat Gulácsi. What a chance!

Porath this time
The wide player makes some space on the edge of the Leipzig box and lets one fly. His effort bounces in front of Gulácsi, making it an awkward one for the keeper, but he holds it well.
53'
Schulz from distance
The centre-back finds himself unchallenged outside the Leipzig box and has an effort from far out. His powerful effort is well over.
52'
Strong start to the second half from Kiel
The hosts have flown out the gates this second half. Gulácsi made a real mess of a corner clearance and then Gigović managed to get a shot away on the edge of the box. They've been on the front foot so far this half.
47'
Too high from Porath
Kiel have an early free-kick. It's played quickly to Porath, who swings a cross in from the left, but it's too high for any in the middle and goes behind for a goal-kick.
46'
Back underway!
Kiel get the ball rolling again for the second half here. Marcel Rapp makes one change at half-time: Skrzybski comes in for Knudsen.

Half-time
45'
Porath goes close
A chance opens up for Kiel. Porath drives at the heart of the Kiel defence. He beats Seiwald down the left and manages to get a shot away at the near post. Gulácsi manages to tip it behind for a corner, with the subsequent set piece finding only the side-netting.
40'
Šeško attempts the spectacular
Openda puts in a cross from the left towards the back post. Šeško tries an acrobatic finish, managing to connect with the ball, but it's high and well off target.
36'
First booking
Gigović breaks up a Leipzig counter-attack on the half-way line, resulting in him being awarded the first yellow card of the game.
33'
Remberg drives
Space opens up for the midfielder to drive into and he does, getting his side up the pitch. He plays it wide to Machino, but his attempted cross is blocked.
31'
Machino down
The forward took some time to get to his feet after receiving a strong challenge in the midfield, but he's ok now and didn't require treatment.
29'
Handball check
There was a VAR check for handball in the build-up to the goal, but it has since been cleared and the goal stands.
28'
Šeško opens the scoring!
A fantastic solo effort from Šeško. A quick turn of pace on the half-way line, the striker then beats two Kiel defenders before shooting from the edge of the box. Weiner saves the first attempt but it deflects straight back to Šeško, who makes sure of things the second time.

Openda shoots
Seiwald wins the ball back with a very strong challenge. The referee waves play on and Leipzig work the ball quickly up to Openda. He cuts off the left and has the opportunity to pass to Šeško but goes alone. His right-footed effort is blocked.
21'
Openda through
A long ball over the top searches for Openda. The striker would've got there if not for the bravery of Weiner to come off his line very quickly and punch the danger clear from the edge of the box.

Back-to-back corners
Kiel have two consecutive corners. They take the first long and the second short, but both times Leipzig manage to clear. Machino then has another long throw, but this time Gulácsi manages to hold onto it.
18'
Porath gets free
The wing-back is released down the left channel and in behind the Leipzig backline. Kiel have a four-on-three but a heavy touch lets him down and allows Seiwald to clear behind for a corner.
16'
Ivezić goes down
The centre-back tumbles on the edge of the Leipzig box, after another Machino long throw-in. The Kiel fans scream for a penalty, but the referee rightfully dismisses the protest.
12'
Long throw by Machino
Kiel manage to get men up and into the box to receive a long throw-in by Machino. Leipzig don't manage to clear first time, but they react quickest to the second ball and get it clear.
9'
Openda through
Baumgartner plays a ball in behind for Openda. The striker miscontrols it and can't get the ball out of his feet to fashion a chance.
6'
In from Baumgartner
The midfielder plays a cross from deep on the right, looking for Šeško. Schulz reads the danger well and clears.

Showing intent
No chances for either side in the first four minutes so far. Leipzig have dominated the ball, however, and are patiently waiting for spaces to open up.

Back to winning ways?
Marco Rose will certainly hope so. His side has slipped from 2nd to 4th in recent weeks and are without a win in their last four games. A trip to an ailing Kiel side might be just what Leipzig need to get themselves back on track, but they should by no means underestimate Marcel Rapp's side.
More on those teams
Marco Rose makes two changes to his side that lost 5-1 at home to Wolfsburg last time out. Seiwald comes in for Lukeba, who isn't selected for today's game. Vermeeren replaces Kampl in the middle of the park, with the latter dropping to the bench. Marcel Rapp's side has seen four changes from their defeat at St. Pauli. Schulz replaces Erras, who is absent today with a concussion. Rosenboom is deployed down the right flank in place of Becker, who isn't selected today. Gigović and Machino also come in for Holtby and Arp, who drop to the bench.

From watertight to porous
Leipzig had the meanest defence in the Bundesliga after 10 games, with just five goals conceded. However, they've since shipped nine in two...
