Evening all, and welcome to FC Koln v RB Leipzig!

Right then, eyes down.

That was a lot of fun. RB are a quality side, and FC have chosen to take them on. I'll be back in 15 for more of the same.

HALF-TIME: FC Koln 1-2 RB Leipzig

More lovely passing from RB, Olmo, Laimer and Shick combining but Leistner clears the eventuating cross.

This is one of the better Bundesliga games I've seen lately.

Nice from RB, suddenly easing through the gears to send the ball spinning between Laimer, Sabitzer and Angelino, whose cross is a decent one ... but Shick heads wide.

There'll be three added minutes.

A low one to the near post - not Hector's finest hour - goes behind following a ricochet, and the ref gives a goalkick.

Bit of possession for FC, the ball going wide to Kainz whose cross wins a corner. There's no Cordoba, but you never know...

Solemn stuff.

Do FC go for it, or try and get to the last 15 minutes just a goal down? It's hard to see either plan working.

FC are in trouble now.

LOVELY GOAL! LOVELY GOAL! FC Koln 1-2 RB Leipzig (Nkunku) Horn yanks a clearance into centrefield, but there looks nothing on until Laimer leaps into it, a luscious first touch taking the ball out of the air and into his stride so that he can send Nkunku in with a sensational pass. Horn races out, but Nkunku sees him a coming, a deft dink sending RB into the lead and Gisdol into a temper!

FC slow things down, knocking the ball from keeper to centre-backs and back.

I thought Leipzig would get after it once they equalised, but they've not hit their stride yet. They've put together a few nice moves, but haven't been able to sustain the attacks.

...which comes to nothing.

RB move it nicely through midfield and again hit a switch over to the right, Laimer for Mukiele. He tries a cross, earning a corner...

In fairness, FC have played pretty well so far, and Markus Gisdol, their manager, is currently a one-man crowd. Nagelsmann worked for him earlier in their careers, so he'll be extra keen to sort him out.

RB's centre-backs are spending a lot of time on halfway, which is to say that RB are dominating territory but do not look impregnable.

Upamecano has wheels, legging it back along the left touchline to rob Kainz.

Werner goes down the right and wins a corner off Czhichos, the ball going short and eventually out to Angelino. His cross is a good one too, but Shick takes it away from Werner, who was in a better position, and heads over the bar. Perhaps the noise of the crowd meant he didn't hear the call.
