WED 27 Nov Champions League - Group G. RB Leipzig RB Leipzig 2 Benfica Benfica 2. RB Leipzig are passing the ball along the midfield as they look for an opening, but Benfica are defending in two deep blocks to prevent the hosts from expressing themselves in the final third.

This is now exemplified when Nkunku is forced into playing a hopeful throughball which trails out of play on the left-hand side.

Nkunku squares a first-time cross towards Werner in the six-yard box, but the striker sees his initial effort blocked and then he can only slice the rebound into the side-netting at the near post.

After some delay, RB Leipzig are forced into making their second change of the match as Gulacsi is replaced by Mvogo in the hosts' goal.

Gulacsi is now receiving medical treatment after suffering a facial injury during the goal, with Vinicius catching the goalkeeper with his knee after he applied the finish.

It was Taarabt who teed up Vincius for the finish, but the striker still had plenty to do after this, and he showed great composure to pick out the bottom corner in such a high-pressure situation.

Vinicius makes it to Benfica! The striker capitalises on Klostermann's error near the halfway line to find himself in a one-on-one situation with Gulacsi, and Vinicius makes no mistake as he slots the ball into the bottom right-hand corner.

Sabitzer gives chase to a looping ball into the Benfica penalty area, but Vlachodimos does well to beat the winger to the ball and then firmly punch it away.

RB Leipzig make their first substitution as Ampada is replaced by Mukiele. A well-worked RB Leipzig attack sees Werner dangerously flick the ball on to Sabitzer at the back post, but Vlachodimos emerges from his goal to punch it away before the winger can nod his effort towards goal.

Sabitzer receives the ball on the right flank before lofting a deep cross towards Werner at the back post, but he sees his header deflected wide for corner by Almeida.

Vlachodimos is now back on his feet after a considerable stoppage, and he will continue in the Benfica goal. Taarabt is shown the first yellow card of the match after an aerial clash with Laimer.

An early RB Leipzig attack results in the ball dropping to Werner on the edge of the box, but he lashes at the loose ball and it soars well over the crossbar.

The players are now gathering in the tunnel ahead of the start of the second half. The referee blows his whistle and RB Leipzig get us underway in the second period.

RB Leipzig have created some good opportunities to get back into the game, but Nagelsmann will be hoping his side can turn their possession into more attempts on goal after the break.

The hosts have completed almost twice as many passes as their opponents, but have only had one more shot on goal than them. Meanwhile, Benfica have largely defended well and also managed to make the most of their major first-half opportunity.

HALF-TIME: RB Leipzig Benfica. Vinicius manages to bring the ball under control on the left-hand side of the box before a sharp turn of pace takes him past Ampadu, but the defender does well to track back and make a sliding challenge.

Chiquinho receives the ball within shooting range and then looks to drill an effort into the bottom left-hand corner, but he sees his shot deflected wide by Ampadu who concedes a corner.

Nkunku's neat flick allows Forsberg to collect the ball in space some 25 yards from goal, and he then edges forward before testing Vlachodimos from range, but the goalkeeper gets down to make the save.

Laimer breaks away from a challenge in midfield before carving a firm pass towards Werner inside the box, but he cannot bring it under control and the attack eventually fizzles out.

Upamecano edges forward in possession as he looks for an opening before clipping the ball out wide to Saracchi, but he struggles to control the lofted ball and Benfica are able to win it back.

The referee awards a free-kick to RB Leipzig on the left flank following Almeida's handball, but Nkunku puts too much power on his delivery as it sails out for a goal-kick.
