00:01Match day is finally here with fans streaming into the stadium.
00:06Excitement is off the scale and the anticipation has never been higher.
00:10Hello to you from the Red Bull Arena.
00:12I'm your commentator Guy Mowbray
00:14and I'm delighted to have Stuart Robson's expertise alongside me
00:18and hopefully we've got some goals and drama on the way.
00:21It's Leipzig facing Juventus.
00:24Well, this should be interesting today.
00:25I like the makeup of both teams.
00:27They really do have a good balance of attacking and defensive qualities.
00:31But the team that has the greater desire will probably come out on top.
00:38There's room to do something here.
00:46Xavier Schlager.
00:49Setting up the chance.
00:51Shortly now.
00:52Really solid defending.
00:54What a block that was.
00:59Here's how Juventus line up.
01:01Michele Di Gregorio is in goal.
01:04Bremer plays alongside Pierre Kalulu in the centre of defence.
01:08Should score here.
01:09It's cleared out.
01:10Now they can reset.
01:18Can I do this?
01:20Could be something building for Juventus here.
01:26Having a look.
01:28Well, not the easiest of saves, but you'd expect him to probably stop that.
01:41the lead to the first blow.
01:48And the first blow struck very early.
01:56Well, here you can see it again.
01:58Good run, great strength, and a composed finish under pressure.
02:02That's a top-class goal.
02:04The action underway once more, with the onus on Juventus to find a response.
02:11McKennie, now with Francisco Conceição.
02:18There's the benefit of working to win the ball.
02:22How on earth has that not gone in?
02:24Incredible goalkeeping.
02:29It's put into the middle.
02:30Not quite the accuracy he was looking for.
02:33That'll be a goal kick.
02:39Schlager.
02:44Promising move, now what happens from here?
02:48They're in here, and they've got another.
02:51What a superb start this is.
03:04Well, I have to say, he's done really well here.
03:06He's in the right place, and then a decent finish.
03:09That's a good goal.
03:13Oh, it's 2-0, as the ball gets rolling again.
03:22One colour shirt, I'm afraid.
03:24That wasn't a good pass, was it?
03:27That's a good ball.
03:29And the cross sails over everyone in the middle.
03:39Great instinct there, to cut it out.
03:47Reaching forward, now to make the right choice.
03:50And it's opened up.
03:51And they're three in front now.
03:54What a performance this has been so far.
04:02Well, here it is again, and it's all about the pace in transition.
04:05They're so quick to get out from the back.
04:07While the movement in the box is equal to it,
04:09it's such good timing.
04:11What a goal.
04:18Lovely set-up.
04:25What a chance here.
04:27Great defending.
04:33Under a little bit of pressure, he's managed to put it wide.
04:36Yeah, but in the end, I think the defender does enough
04:38to make it very difficult for him.
04:42Oh, that's really well cut out.
04:47Western McKinney.
04:53Oh, that's brilliant.
04:55Super sharp reactions.
04:59The corner is fired in.
05:01That has ended up going wide.
05:04Didn't connect properly.
05:16Decent looking attack, this.
05:19Now, this has to be.
05:21And two becomes three as he completes his hat-trick.
05:25A superb performance.
05:37Well, as you can see, the defending is all over the place.
05:40That's far too easy for the attackers.
05:41The goalkeeper's got absolutely no chance there.
05:51And away we go again at 4-0 now.
05:55Western McKinney.
05:57Francisco Conceição.
06:02Now with Cambiasso.
06:06Can yield his finish.
06:09Can yield his finish.
06:25Opportunity here.
06:26Oh, this is getting unbelievable.
06:29It is an absolute crashing.
06:41Well, just look at the set-up here.
06:43It's such a clever backfield.
06:44And it makes the striker's job so easy.
06:46All he has to do is make the right connection.
06:48It's a lovely goal.
06:51A goal that might mean no way back.
06:53They restart once more.
07:05Loom to do something here.
07:08Oh, they looked in there.
07:09That's nicely cut out.
07:11Well, they stopped that move in its tracks.
07:14That was excellent defending.
07:18Well, here we go.
07:19Time for the transition.
07:26As they go.
07:28Oh, just off target.
07:30Well, it's a great move.
07:31Everything was right up until that final finish.
07:36Schaber schlager.
07:41A really good interception to take the ball.
07:50He's beaten easily here.
07:52Good, patient build-up, but not quite the end product.
08:02Back at the post.
08:03And there's the hat-trick.
08:05He'll be taking the match full home.
08:33He won the ball.
08:35Now to keep it.
08:39Kelly.
08:42Now with Yildiz.
08:54One more to the total.
08:56And there's no sign of them stopping there.
09:05Well, just look how exposed the keeper is.
09:07He's got absolutely no chance there.
09:09But they do take it well, you have to say.
09:10They do take it well.
09:27Locatelli, now with Francisco Conte-Sao.
09:38What a chance.
09:41All the superb reflexes.
09:51For the box, it goes.
09:58And with that, the first half in Leipzig comes to...
10:07We're back in business.
10:08One half down, one to go.
10:16Francisco Conte-Sao.
10:19And with Kelly.
10:28This is looking good.
10:29Now what comes next?
10:37It goes on past the defender.
10:39The goalkeeper more than ready for it.
10:52Delivered into the box.
10:54And that's far from the ideal delivery.
10:56It's hit the first man.
10:59A chance now for a quick transition.
11:03The ball's still alive here.
11:05They really need to get bodies back.
11:11Good work to beat the challenge.
11:14Really solid defending.
11:25A far-right.
11:28Denied defending of the highest calibre.
11:31How did that stay out?
11:33Terrific clearance.
11:37A score here.
11:38And that is a terrific save.
11:45Corner kick played in.
11:54And that's a throw for RB Leipzig.
12:03Possession lost and one.
12:05One.
12:07One.
12:13Now with Francisco Conte-Sao.
12:16He's beaten his marker here.
12:19And he's fought that with everything he's got.
12:22But it's missed the target.
12:24Juventus are making a change now.
12:29Half an hour left for play.
12:38Really promising pass.
12:40Yeah, what a good ball that was.
12:50Juventus have possession again.
12:56Oh, look at this.
12:57Away they go on the counter.
13:03Oh, brilliant anticipation.
13:13It's nicely stopped and held by the keeper.
13:19This stop Baumgartner.
13:27The referee points to the spot.
13:29Penalty.
13:31And it's a bookie.
13:33Yeah, deserved the card for that challenge.
13:47Not out of trouble yet.
13:50And that's a shame for them as the move breaks down.
14:00That's where it ends.
14:05Turan.
14:11Andrea Cambiasso.
14:14Moving forward well.
14:19And it's comfortably dealt with by the goalkeeper.
14:26Ball comes in.
14:28No danger from that one.
14:32Breaking at pace.
14:33This could be dangerous.
14:37It's a really promising break.
14:39They lost it.
14:40A promising break fades away.
14:42And it's held on to comfortably.
14:46And away it goes.
14:48Yeah, that certainly cleared the danger, didn't it?
14:52Still going here.
14:54Putting it upon himself to drive forward further.
14:57He put his head to it, but not the right part of the head, it seems.
15:00It's a bad miss.
15:10Time for some positive wing play now.
15:15Oh, what a save.
15:16Razor sharp reactions.
15:25It's put into the middle, and it's comfortably gathered.
15:36Ube being afforded too much space here.
15:39Now, can someone attack this?
15:42Oh, that was a decent position.
15:44But he went to whack it rather than place it.
15:46And it's narrowly missed.
15:52We've entered the final ten minutes.
15:57Oh, it must be here.
15:59Terrific bit of blocking.
16:04I'm afraid that's not up to scratch.
16:06It's a goal kick.
16:09There's a fiducian coming up.
16:18Openda.
16:25That's a good ball.
16:31And that will be a penalty.
16:46And it's in.
16:47A show of composure from 12 yards out.
16:51Here he is again, and he makes it look so easy.
16:54Sends the people one way before striking it into the opposite side.
16:57That's an excellent finish.
17:01Working hard to win it back there.
17:05Good pressure, this.
17:06High up the pitch.
17:15Whenever was needed there, it wasn't there.
17:17Yeah, from that range, you'd expect you to score, wouldn't you?
17:23And it's been cut out.
17:25There's the turnover.
17:31No free kick.
17:32A good advantage.
17:35Oh, they looked in there.
17:37That's nicely cut out.
17:46Promising position, this.
17:48Oh, what a stop.
17:49Don't look at that superbly.
17:52Making a change here.
17:55Here it comes.
17:57One thing will come of it.
17:58It's been cleared.
18:01And the game comes to an end with the home fans in positive mood.
18:05That's the win they came to see.
18:06They were the better team all over the pitch.
18:08We saw good individual performances.
18:10We saw an attack which was always threatening.
18:12And they played really well.
18:14What a performance that was today.
18:15And one thing we saw.
18:16And it was teachable.
18:23And it's over.
18:23Oh, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God.
