Full-time: Kiel 0-2 Leipzig

Marco Rose's side are finally back to winning ways. In many ways it wasn't always a pretty performance, but Leipzig defended and battled well, weathered the Kiel pressure and were clinical when they needed to be. André Silva's penalty doubled the lead that was found in the first half by Benjamin Šeško. That's now four consecutive Bundesliga defeats for Marcel Rapp's Kiel side.

String of corners

It's a period of extended pressure by the hosts. They have three corners in quick succession but can't make anything dangerous of the opportunities.

85'

Nusa shoots

The winger cut in off the left, working it onto his right. He gets a shot away but it's blocked inside the box.

84'

Free-kick for Kiel

It's whipped towards the back post. Pichler attempts a looping header, but Gulácsi holds onto it.

Yellow card

Benjamin Henrichs

Coollest man in the stadium

Silva was never in doubt as he stepped up to convert the penalty. The goal came somewhat against the run of play, too.

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.

Silva steps up!

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.

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!

56'

More chances

After a very cagey first half, Kiel are managing to record a few chances now. There certainly feels as if there's another goal in this game.

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: Kiel 0-1 Leipzig

Šeško's goal is all the separates the sides at the end of the first half. Neither side have managed to create many clear-cut chances but Leipzig have been the more clinical of the sides. They've dominated the ball too, but Kiel have looked dangerous at times on the counter-attack. The hosts had a little late flurry at the end of the half, so Marcel Rapp will hope this can continue into the second.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Neither side has managed to create a clear-cut opportunity after 20 minutes here.

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.

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.

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.

And we're off!

Leipzig get the ball rolling here in Kiel.

Kick-off!

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.

Kiel starting XI:

Weiner (c) - Ivezić, Schulz, Geschwill - Knudsen - Rosenboom, Gigović, Remberg, Porath - Machino, Harres

Kiel subs:

Dähne, Javorček, Skrzybski, Holtby, Kelati, Puchacz, Pichler, Bernhardsson, Arp

Leipzig starting XI:

Gulácsi - Geertruida, Seiwald, Orbán (c), Henrichs - Haidara, Vermeeren - Baumgartner, Nusa - Šeško, Openda

Leipzig subs:

Zingerle, Vandevoordt, Klostermann, Schlager, Sakar, Jatta, Kampl, Gebel, Silva

Marco Rose on facing Kiel

"Kiel are tricky opponents. They're fighting to stay up and won't back down. They were up for it in their most recent game against St. Pauli. It will be a physical and aggressive match, but they are also skilled on the ball."

Marco Rose on Antonio Nusa

"Antonio Nusa is an exceptional player. He's a young lad that I really wanted to sign and he's living up to everything we saw in him." Nusa, along with teammate Assan Ouédraogo, has been chosen by Lionel Messi in a group of ten promising young players to wear the Argentine's newly developed F50 Triunfo Estelar Elite football boots.

Kiel: Erras, Becker ruled out

Rapp will have to do without the services of defensive duo Timo Becker (broken toe) and Patrick Erras (concussion) when Leipzig come calling, but can field either Lasse Rosenboom or Finn Porath for the former and Carl Johansson for the latter. However, the Swede is just over a knee complaint and unlikely to play all 90 minutes.

Marcel Rapp on facing Leipzig

"We need to get basics like running, battling and passion onto the pitch - along with output. We have to work to the limit. If we achieve that, we will take points. If not, then we won't."
