RB LEIPZIG WIN BACK-TO-BACK TITLES
FT: RB Leipzig 2-0 Eintracht Frankfurt. Nkunku proves the difference, bagging a goal and an assist as Leipzig win back-to-back titles. It was tight up until the first goal, but Leipzig were rampant after that and on balance are good value for their victory.
KOLO MUANI BOOKED
Frankfurt's frustration is there for all to see as Kolo Muani gets booked for a clumsy tackle. There will be no comeback.
Yellow card

NKUNKU BOOKED
The match-winner is booked for getting in the way of a throw-in.

FRANKFURT STRECTHED
It has been one-way traffic since the goal and Gotze is booked for a tug off the ball.
Yellow card

OLMO COMES ALIVE
Leipiziig are on top now and Olmo is in the action, carrying the ball into the box and winning a corner when his cross is put behind.
LEIPZIG TAKE THE LEAD
RB Leipzig 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt (Nkunku)
A Leipzig break looks to have lost momentum, before Nkunku cuts inside, runs past several defenders and then takes a shot which is deflected twice and bobbles past the helpless Trapp into the net.

C. Nkunku
END OF THE RODE
Rode makes way for Lindstrom in the first Frankfurt change.

BETTER FROM LEIPZIG
Poulsen and Nkunku play a one-two and the Dane then looks to get the ball back at Nkunku's feet, but he cannot quite take it while entering the box.
GOTZE DENIED
Kolo Muani lays a cross off for Gotze, who volleys straight at Blaswich and the goalkeeper beats the ball away. Gotze hit it sweetly, but the goalkeeper was in the ideal position.
NKUNKU WANTS A PENALTY
He will not get though. Chasing a long ball he could never get, Nkunku initiated contact with Tuta then flopped to the ground. Even if it were a foul, it was probably outside of the box.
