Rest in peace, Gérard Houllier 

 
Ahead of the game, players held a minute's silence and are wearing black armbands to commemorate  Gérard Houllier, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 73. Gérard worked with Red Bull for over 10 years and was an important advisor and friend of RB Leipzig.

Highlights

Image
1st minute: Almost a flying start! Amadou Haidara tests Timo Horn after just 50 seconds. Hortly after, Doudou finishes a nice move and puts the ball in the back of the net – the goal is ruled out due to a slight offside from Marcel Sabitzer (2').
Image
5th minute: RBL continue to hunt the early lead. This time, it's Yussuf Poulsen, who looks to turn an Angelino cross goalward. Afterwards, a header from Nordi Mukiele goes narrowly wide (10').
Image
26th minute: Next big chance for Haidara! Played in beautifully by Kevin Kampl, Amadou fires only into the side netting.
Image
33rd minute: Haidara continues to perform. His cross is punched out by Horn straight to the feet of Angelino who is denied impressively by a block from Jorge Meré.
Image
36th minute: Angelino again! Kampl finds the full back, but Horn is able to pull off a strong save to keep the scores level.
Image
39th minute: First big chance for the visitors. Dominick Drexler hits a volley narrowly wide of the target.

Image
65th minute: This time it's Kampl, who is completely free in the area after some good build up, but our number 44 fires over the crossbar from 12 metres.
