- 90'+3'That's all from us tonight folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!
- 90'+3'This result leaves Leipzig top of Group H and they will face Manchester United next Wednesday in their next Champions League fixture. However, before that they will turn their attentions back to the Bundesliga, as they face Hertha Berlin at the weekend. Meanwhile Basaksehir will face Antalyaspor on Saturday, before welcoming PSG in midweek for their next Champions League tie.
- 90'+3'Leipzig secure all three points in their opening Champions League game, with a 2-0 victory over Basaksehir, thanks to two first half goals from Angelino. Much of the attacking action happened in the first half, with both teams having chances, but once they went ahead, Leipzig looked comfortable. The visitors grew into the game, but they didn't have the quality in front of goal to beat Gulacsi.
- 90'+3'FULL-TIME: LEIPZIG 2-0 BASAKSEHIR
- 90'+2'Kluivert does well down the left wing and manages to find some space in the box, but his effort at goal flies well over the crossbar.
- 90'There will be a minimum of three minutes added time played.
- 89'Another yellow card is shown, this time to Henrichs for a foul on Rafael.
- 88'There are just a few minutes left on the clock here and it looks like Leipzig will clinch a 2-0 victory in their opening Group H game. The other match in the group sees Manchester United beating PSG 2-1.
- 86'Ozcan is booked late on for a deliberate foul on Hwang as the striker looked to break forward.
- 83'The other change by the visitors sees Turuc replaced by Giuliano.
- 83'Basaksehir have made a double substitution, the first sees Kahveci replaced by Aleksic.
- 81'CHANCE! Excellent opportunity for Demba Ba to pull a goal back for the visitors after he is superbly fed in behind the Leipzig defence by Crivelli. The striker then only has the keeper to beat, but Gulacsi makes himself as big as possible and makes a terrific save. However, the linesman puts his flag up for offside anyway, so it wouldn't have counted.
- 79'The game is becoming quite scrappy now, with both teams battling for possession in the middle of the pitch and there have been a few cheap fouls given away.
- 77'There is still time left on the clock for Basaksehir to get back into this game, a goal now would certainly make the final few minutes interesting.
- 75'Leipzig – who have the youngest manager in the 2020/21 Champions League with 33-year-old Julian Nagelsmann – were one of only two sides who didn’t use a single outfield player aged 30 or older in the Champions League last season, along with Genk.
- 73'Konate hasn't been on the pitch long but he has just been booked for a late challenge on Turic.
- 72'Leipzig look quite happy to keep the scoreline at 2-0, they are defending comfortably at the moment and aren't really pushing forward in search of a third goal. The visitors have certainly improved in the second half.
- 70'Kluivert is now on the pitch, he has replaced Nkunku for Leipzig.
- 69'Nkunku forces Gonuk into making a strong save after the midfielder blasts a shot towards goal from 30 yards out. However, the effort is too close to the keeper, making it slightly easier to make the stop.
- 66'Basaksehir have responded by making a substitution of their own, with Topal replaced by Demba Ba.
- 65'The other change by the hosts sees Upamecano head off the pitch and he has been replaced by Konate.
- 65'Double substitution now by Leipzig, the first sees Olmo replaced by Henrichs.
- 63'It's Basaksehir with all of the possession at the moment, with Leipzig having to get everyone back behind the ball to soak up the pressure and they are doing a good job of closing down the space as the visitors are unable to get into the final third.
- 61'Chance! Hwang is played through on goal and seemingly only has Gunok to beat, but the Basaksehir defence do really well to get back as the striker cuts back onto his left foot, he then has to pass to Adams, but he gets crowded out and the visitors eventually clear the danger.
- 60'Hwang scored three goals and assisted five for RB Salzburg in the Champions League last season. He will be hoping to get off to a good start for his new club as well.
- 58'Another change here for Leipzig, with Kampl the man coming off the pitch and he has been replaced by Adams.
- 56'Good counter-attack by the visitors, they work the ball into the Leipzig box and it is pulled back to Crivelli on the edge of the penalty area. However, Halstenberg does really well to get back in the nick of time and divert the pass out for a corner.
- 54'The pace of the game isn't as high as it was in the first half, with Leipzig enjoying much of the possession in the middle of the pitch and Basaksehir are struggling to string a couple of passes together.
- 52'Good effort! Hwang manages to find some space inside the penalty area and he gets a low shot away from a tight angle, which forces Gunok into making a good save to stop the ball from flying into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
- 50'Basaksehir lost five of their eight away games in the Europa League in 2017/18 and 2019/20 (W3), losing each of their two in 2020 and conceding three goals in each defeat (1-3 vs Sporting, 0-3 vs FC Copenhagen).
- 45'+3'We certainly could see a few more goals here, with both teams pushing forward and looking dangerous on the counter-attack, as neither defence has coped particularly well at the back.
- 45'+3'Two goals from Angelino see Leipzig lead 2-0 at the break in their opening Champions League game. There was just four minutes between the two goals and both were superbly taken by Angelino to hand the hosts a comfortable lead. They could have scored more, with Angelino going close to a third, but his shot whistled just past the post and Upamecano saw his header saved by Gunok. The visitors had a couple of chances, with Visca having a few shots go close and the Basaksehir skipper has been their biggest attacking threat.
- 48'The other game in Group H currently sees Manchester United lead 1-0 against PSG. However, Leipzig would top the group on goal difference as it stands.
- 45'+3'HALF-TIME: LEIPZIG 2-0 BASAKSEHIR
- 45'+2'Leipzig look more dangerous as the first half comes to an end, with Basaksehir trying to go into the break just 2-0 down.
- 46'The second half is under way!
- 46'Leipzig have made a substitution ahead of the second half, with Forsberg replaced by Hwang.
- 45'There will be a minimum of three minutes added time played at the end of the first half.
- 43'Rafael is now booked for Basaksehir as he dives into a challenge with Kampl, which the midfielder manages to avoid, but the feet were high from the right-back and he is shown a yellow card.
- 41'Another yellow card shown here just before the break, this time to Upamecano for his late lunging challenge on Crivelli as the striker got to the ball first and the centre-back brought him down.
- 40'Nkunku is the first Leipzig player to be booked, after his late tackle on Bolingoli-Mbombo down the right wing.
- 39'Decent effort! Kahveci didn't have much else on in the final third and the midfielder opts to go for goal from around 30 yards out, but his shot is too close to Gulacsi who makes a good save.
- 39'There's not long left to play at the Red Bull Arena before the end of the first half now, can the visitors pull a goal back before the half-time whistle?
- 37'The game is quite open in midfield, there is a lot of space to play the ball into as both teams are set out in an attacking formation, which is opening up gaps between the lines.
- 35'The visitors are starting to keep the ball well in the middle of the pitch now, they are making Leipzig do the defending at the moment. The hosts will be content with their first half lead so far.
- 33'There could've been a few more goals than there has been so far here, with Leipzig having a number of chances in front of goal and the visitors seem to be growing in confidence now.
- 31'SAVE! Gulacsi is forced into making a save now, with Basaksehir getting forward themselves and getting some players into the box. The ball lands to Visca and he drills a low shot at goal, but it is straight at the Leipzig keeper, who makes a good stop.
- 31'CLOSE! Angelino is so close to scoring his third and getting his hat-trick! Leipzig had a corner, which is drilled towards to the edge of the box and Angelino meets it on the volley, firing the ball towards goal first time, but the shot whistles inches past the post.
- 30'Here is the enforced Basaksehir substitution, with Caicara having to leave the pitch with an injury and he has been replaced by Ozcan.
- 28'Basaksehir are the sixth Turkish side to play in the Champions League, with only one of the previous five winning their first ever match – Trabzonspor in September 2011, who won 1-0 away at Inter Milan.
- 26'Stoppage in play here as Caicara is down with an injury after a challenge from Poulsen. The medical team are out on the pitch to give him some treatment, however, it doesn't look good for the Basaksehir right-back and he might be coming off.
- 24'Into the side netting! The visitors manage to get forward and Visca finds a little bit of space inside the Leipzig penalty area and goes for goal from a tight angle, however, the shot goes straight into the side of the goal. Not troubling Gulacsi.
- 22'It'll be tough for Basaksehir to get back into the game now from 2-0 down, they are struggling to get on the ball and venture near the Leipzig goal.
- 20'GOOOAAALLL! Angelino again to double Leipzig's lead, it's 2-0! Poulsen wins the ball back in midfield and sprints forward towards the penalty area, he then lays it back to Nkunku, who passes to Angelino to his left, who had plenty of time and space and he fires the ball past Gunok.
- 20'Nkunku could've gone for goal himself as he had plenty of time to pick out his spot, but instead he opted to pass to Angelino, who did well to double the hosts lead.
- 18'The first yellow card of the game is shown to Bolingoli-Mbombo after he dives into the back of Nkunku and brings the midfielder down.
- 16'GOOOAAALLL! Leipzig lead 1-0! Angelino fires his side into the lead on 16 minutes. Superb skill and turn by the winger, who cuts inside to find the space down the middle and meets a lovely chipped ball over the top by Kampl, before smashing it into the back of the net.
- 16'Angelino sprinted from the left wing, staying well onside and he was wonderfully fed over the top by Kampl, who put the right amount of pace on the pass and the winger provided a fine finish.
- 14'There have been some supporters allowed into the stadium here at the Red Bull Arena and they are certainly making their voices heard, creating a good atmosphere for the two sides.
- 12'This is the first ever European meeting between Leipzig and Basaksehir. Leipzig’s two previous European meetings with Turkish opposition was in the 2017/18 Champions League group stage, losing both matches against Besiktas.
- 10'CHANCE! Visca just manages to stay onside as a long ball flies over the top of the Leipzig defence and the winger races through on goal, he is chased down and squares the ball to Crivelli who is sprinting into the box. However, Upamecano gets back in the nick of time and takes it off his toes, allowing Gulacsi to gather.
- 8'It's all Leipzig now, they are keeping the ball well and forcing the visitors to sit deep and soak up the pressure early on here. However, the Turkish side to look dangerous on the break.
- 6'SAVE! Gunok with a fine stop to deny Upamecano, after his header following a corner delivery by Nkunku. The centre-back got in front of his marker and powered the ball towards goal, but it was slightly too close to Gunok, who made a good diving save to his left.
- 4'CHANCE! Almost an own goal by Gunok to hand Leipzig the lead! A lovely deep cross is whipped into the box from the right wing and it was met by Angelino at the far post, but he doesn't control it well enough and it hits Caicara, who accidentally turns it towards goal, but Gonuk gets a strong arm to it and saves.
- 3'It's end-to-end at the moment, with both teams pushing forward quickly and trying to catch each other out on the counter-attack when they can. Leipzig are just edging the possession charts.
- 1'We're under way!
- -The teams are out on the pitch and kick-off is just a few minutes away, stay tuned for all of the match action!
