Goalless in Wolfsburg

0-0 agains VfL Wolfsburg |More possession but no goals | Werner brought on in the seond half

Draw in Wolfsburg. RB Leipzig share the spoils with VfL Wolfsburg after slumping to a goalless draw in Lower Saxony.

The home side started the brightest of the two teams and could have gone ahead after creating chances for Wout Weghorst and then Paulo Otávio. The Bulls, on the other hand, were unable to find any real rhythm and failed to create any meaningful chances. The last ten minutes of the half were characterised by end-to-end football, but neither team took advantage of this.

Leipzig looked the better team in the second half, but were still unable to carve out any clear-cut opportunities to score. Timo Werner and Dani Olmo were brought on at the hour mark, but while they added to the Bulls' offensive power, they were unable to affect the scoreline. Final score; 0-0.

Highlights:

Yussuf Poulsen started alongside Patrik Schick in place of Timo Werner, who was suffering from muscle strain.

Konrad Laimer returned from suspension, replacing Nordi Mukiele.

21': The Bulls have over 70% possession, but cannot create any decent chances.

37': Chance for RBL. Angelino creates some space in the box, but his shot is over the bar.

46': Looking good after half time! Forsberg feeds Nkunku, who attempts the one-two. Forsberg is just a bit flat-footed and can't get to the return ball.

56': Leipzig win the ball in their own half, the counter sees the ball end up at Poulsen's feet, but the Dane's shot is wild and Casteels was untested.

62': First meaningful attempt in the second half! Laimer plays in Sabitzer, who shoots from just outside the box. Casteels saves.

70': Leipzig countee through Nkunku, who finds Werner. But the German's attempted pass towards Schick is wayward and Wolfsburg clear.

93': Almost! In the final minute of added time, Leipzig have the chance to win it at the corner. Schick rises to meet the ball and heads towards goal, but Casteels saves it and the score remains 0-0. Goalless in Wolfsburg.
