DFB POKAL 2024/25 Rot-Weiss Essen vs RB Leipzig I LIVE MATCH I ROUND 1

here from openda was good but go read it he's on side here openda started his run didn't he to Perfection and he had to do that he had to chip the ball but Jakob gz knew what he was going to do like I said he's leared it from his dad he knows what he has to do [Applause] [Music] trying to find that room again and oh oh that was so difficult and almost making it happen against Sim M Khan that might be a referees ball there it's a foul yeah toan musel maybe a bit too aggressive in the [Music] challenge the darting run before was brilliant oh we got some new players coming on here David R is coming off that is a surprise and it's Castello Lua who will be coming on for him and so to the right back so left back and right back being replaced it's Benjamin hris who's coming on for Lucas claan so like for like no change of style here keeping that back four Castello Luka a French under 23 International who appeared and started all six of the games at the Olympic Games in Paris and the two be defeated in that dramatic final if you remember against Spain but he was involved in every single match it's a battle already getting involved here Benjamin Henrik or Benjamin as they say in Germany 27 years of age now been here for a few years after arriving from Monaco played 16 times for Germany last cap [Music] 2024 and it looks as though they are replying here with some fresh legs to themselves [Applause] here isfeld with the number 10 so Jimmy caparos comes off and safy the goal scorer has been replaced to [Music] so vinim for him let's see how that changes things here at a moment but the referee oh immediately has to call the stretches here and I hope everything's okay because that was a real Collision oh dear dear [Applause] dear as the ball comes into the box two of those going for the same ball ice Feld who been on the pitch for maybe less than a minute Alo in that Clash there together with hayana sorry with simak he'd been on less than a minute I think he was got 30 odd seconds I hope because that would be a huge blow should they lose him the problem is of course that you can't take any risks can you with if you get a knock to the Head even if a player says I want to continue it's the docks who make the decision [Applause] well it looks as though shim Simon is uh okay but that does not look good here at the moment for Vinheim he's staying rather still isn't he 34 seconds I think he been on the pitch when that uh we saw that Collision together with Muhammad sakon [Applause] the bandage first of all and you got to give players that time to recover uh this is as you can imagine for him so important for them anyway but for him it's so important as well to be in this game after just coming on all elated and expecting to yeah maybe do something that could bring his team back into the game they've had a good look at him they've bandaged the head well referee says it's okay the fysio says okay because he says he's ready and raring to go and I hope they got it right but he's going to have a black eye in the morning that is for certain already getting involved there youngster 21y old Castell lber brought the ball in there and again of course Lois appender is never that far away had a very good game today Lois appender maybe a little bit quieter in this second half than he was in the first but uh that threat that he brings to the game is always [Applause] there 2-1 look at that scoreboard back in the old days that was the memories nice to see it still [Applause] no doubt that the crowd are right behind this team they can see that determination that they have to come back into the match they've not given up on scoring another goal here against lsig [Applause] so pleased to see that both shim M and Thomas isfeld are back on the park and playing football again zal this time the pass intercepted by kraish chance here for the ball to come back towards leig but they have countered the Counterattack Hender waits for his teammates henrix Simon later stats for you 12 shots in total from leig Seven from Essen four quarters to one 21 for leig but very much still in the game H Vice e without a shadow of a doubt this game is not over with we're going to have quite a bit of stop his time as well added on to this game after the injury to both Thomas isfeld And muhammd shakan so there's plenty of time remaining for an Ness and goal but also for Li to that was just running away yeah an offside anyway but every credit to shesco for continuing the run and what was a lost cause G came from Leon for 30 million euros back in 2023 one goal in 32 appearances for leig last season he's a very interesting player [Applause] all [Applause] so back with [Music] growley at the moment what Vice es playing a similar game to what we have seen from liik passing the ball around liic playing the waiting game here at the moment anticipating a mistake from Essen they're not obliging good passing here almost coming through and it does Fall and it was almost a huge opportunity well it was a huge opportunity for vage but gachi was there boom bit too Central the shot at the end from Leonardo vonic but that's the best attempt from him so far 21y old now they have to defend at the other end haana oh great pass oh abs absolutely brilliant and it should have been the third goal that should have been and he knows it that third goal for leig the excellent pass from shaby Simmons if we get chance we will have a look at this what a pass a little flick with the outside of the boot from the man from the Netherlands shaby Simmons and that Miss from high data will hurt so another substitution here for WCE Essen game over for Rios Alonzo who was on a yellow card as [Music] well so it is cheli well how cool was that Thomas ield at the end of the day as well doing exceedingly well but that was looked as though it was playing with fire it's a good game to watch folks it's exciting and at times you have the feeling that the boys from the third tier not only do they know how to play football but they are showing lii that they are willing to take this game to them all the way and that's why it's called a cut match that's why it's so exciting the dfb poal I'll we in for another surprise here they won't give up that's the new boy in eek and chel be or chbby 24 born in nberg never played in the poal before gets his chance today go [Music] [Applause] and as the teres chant their praise here they come again the Reds they got to yeah I was about to say they got to find the perfect pass and that's what vonic was just suggesting there from Manuel [Applause] Viner first of all a brand new signing by the way Vin K on before for back from num Simon yeah crowd didn't like [Applause] that looks as though liip are ready to bring on Andre Silva who's going to go nobody at the moment free kick here for the homide 10 minutes to go in this game of normal time leipsig are still at the moment leading ball Falls will it fall kindly can anyone get a shot away no too many bodies and now they're caught off guard this is dangerous can they double back quick enough shvy Simmons oh and Bast pose by [Applause] shesco another chance has gone he's on side again perfect timing from the pass for shvy [Applause] Simmons he's run more and covered more of that Park than any other player Benjamin Sesco over 10 km one assist one goal one heck of a player and a good game today but he could have increased that tally just a couple of minutes ago or less than a minute ago [Applause] [Applause] again another one of those shots from distance that draws a Applause from the crowd but it would have been even more exhilarating if it had been on target but why not have a go new boy Manuel Viner gets the effort wide but uh gachi not happy that he managed to get the shot away so hayada is coming off I thought he's had a decent game here [Music] today Lois sorry Benjamin shesko I think is going to be coming off and that is Antonio NSA from Norway [Applause] brand new signing the man who took Danny Almo shirt who went to Barcelona so talented really so talented replaces hi data I thought he might be replacing Benjamin shesco but that's not going to be the case oh he was by Silva that was uh Andre Silva who came on to replay R Esa I've seen some footage of that man Antonio nusa recently and he is so talented the tricks The Flicks the speed the grit he has it all he has it [Applause] all what do the Reds have [Applause] [Applause] there's a chance there's a goal what a start what an introduction welcome to Germany and hello Antonio NOA well if there's ever a story that you could write before the start of a game after coming onto the pitch for the first time for your new club then that was the story for him that he will not forget just take a look at the number seven Antonio nusa boom he did not waste any time did he to get his name up in lights in Germany the Norwegian Antonio Nua puts leig two goals ahead Essen one leig three what an introduction and you news to take a b that is a fine finish and your commentator was just talking about the footage I saw just a few days ago about the tricks The Flicks the speed the Grits he has it all he's got a wicked left foot but you know what his right boot is even better remember that name we will see we will be seeing a lot of him Antonio Nua 19 years of old years of age he came on Tuesday from Club Rouge well I thought it was his first touch before I've just had confirmation it was actually the second just in Midfield before that he was also involved the second touch ends up being in his first goal for his new club it's a perfect fairy tale story come true the man that came on to replace amadu hyala well they may have lost Dan Almo but Antonio OA I think we will be talking about him a lot too had to do that gos and did it very well there's nothing that yakob gz could have done today about those three goals basically four minutes to go blocked by cample [Applause] yeah I just can't get over it you can't write these stories you can't write the script for it can you it just seems to happen sometimes and even he happy Ben cesco who just came off before you don't see many happy smiling faces with you take it off the pitch it might get worse here are they falling apart they are now because that is sheer Brilliance from a young man who's got such a future in front of him we know that this future is one more year in Germany with RB liik extended loan from PSG and then we shall see where shabby cimons is going to one things for certain it's just a simple joy to watch him play football shy seamos look at this yeah that's class of the highest order Nicholas Cal with the ball and then from Silva Andre Silva fine shvy but this is all about the fine solo run and finish from the Dutchman one of the most valuable low knees in football history 4-1 and now Gable will be coming on for his first game as shvy Simons collects the Applause that really was a fantastic goal just uh well seconds basically within the that minute of the 84th minute when Antonio us has scored his goal to make it 3-1 his debut goal with his second touch for his new [Applause] club yeah can't continue ice Feld he knows his game over now he's got to come off he's in a lot of pain so these changes towards the end of the game here everyone getting the chance to maybe well just play in a cup game basically koruma Simon's replace there by Gable [Applause] yeah that's been he's still in pain you can see I can't see properly I can tell him I can't see properly he tried to give everything when they were still in the game W visz and Thomas isfeld let's not forget he was uh injured after coming onto the pitch 32 34 seconds and he's tried to continue but now we got a score line of 4-1 and 90 minutes is over with it's game over they know that there's no point in risking your health well there's no point in risking your health for a game of football full stop is my opinion shovsky was the man who came on to replace ice Feld that's kuruma Mustafa kuruma B in Essen the number 16 [Applause] [Applause] there four minutes of added time of course due to that injury we saw be between shimma cor and ield who now finally decided that enough is enough the bandish head but he won't change the score line now well it won't change the situation then as find themselves in we might find another goal though here from leig of now at the moment of course we on the Rampage here Essen did oh so well this score line does not reflect the game that we have seen liic have been better let's not beat about the bush but what Essen have given here today on home soil has been uh fantastic exemplary really for the quality that still exists in the third tier and if it hadn't been for that man goals with another fantastic save it might have been even higher he's he's pulled off three or four magnificent world class has saves that man his father rishard taught him everything and he's learned the job well there is his flat dad Richard gz fryberg Hamburg Hanover a top goalkeeper his son is just uh at the moment doing such a good job that may be a higher League wouldn't be a bad idea for [Music] him that man that came on by the way before Vigo Gable well you haven't seen him involved yet he just went past his screen there he's gone now he's only 16 years of Aging now a huge Talent it's rather interesting to see coaches like Marco Rosa give young men like that the chance to feeli the atmosphere building for the future the game's won why not plays for the under 17s started to play for the under 19s for liick and gets the opportunity to smell some of this cup atmosphere here today for a final 30 seconds before the referee then Blows the Whistle [Applause] all in all has been a very good performance from RP lii they started a little yeah confused I would put it when Raman Safi scored that opening goal inside the first two minutes and then WCE Essen had that feeling of course that maybe we can grab some more they still have a feeling they might be able to grab another goal here they' got another corner it's just the second of the game I think and may be one last chance for the crowd to get excited Away by gachi referee's not blown his whistle yet across the face again and that is the final whistle of our highly entertaining game of football their score line might be a little too high as far as I'm concerned but look at the goal scorers that we've seen here today every single goal that we have witnessed in this cup fight between R rce Essen and RB leik has been a joy to watch and in particular that one here from the number seven takes the shirt from Danny Elmo comes on and with his second touch for his new club scores the third goal of the day at the end of the day the final score was R Essen one RB liic 4 really I'm very sure that every single liick player here has a respect for the way Essen came into this game and so to that man Marco wza as I mentioned before who knows Kristoff doovi they' played against each other before they have a mutual respect that man's gone he's happy he's got that man's face you don't sign autographs these days you just sit B get that selfie he's got it with savy seamons the man who scored the final goal of the day there's nothing that Kristoff dski can complain about what his team gave today he knows that there's nothing they did wrong they did so much right he just knows at the end they were beaten by a better team and here the mutual respect to be seen as well yeah he can be proud of each and every every one of them exactly Tobin musel that pass for Raman Safi inside the first two minutes was so delectable it was world class from a 25y old who plays in the third tier okay he came from B mention glabb a year and a half ago he is talented he's an ex Germany under 20 but he plays in the third here in German Football that man is going to get his name up in lights I guarantee see that Antonio Nua from Norway his best foot is his right foot but he also scores great goals with his left and his first goal for liik was with that left Boot and it was gorgeous came on Tuesday from Club rer he scored on his Champions League debut by the way in September of 2022 at Porto when he was just turned 17 years old capped seven times by his country Norway and he's a name you have to write down so you don't forget it Antonio Musa he played football by the way a senior debut a 16 years 1 month and 16 days old in Norway Antonio NOA they knew then that this man has a future in front of him and his future at the moment is with liik he's here till 2029 but at least that's what the contract says The Wrecking Crew from rce Essen were there to celebrate with their team right throughout the game they just couldn't quite wreck Lick's day yeah take it all in that's a good start to your [Applause] season so here the graphics after the first after the 90 minutes yeah possession wise Esson kept coming back into this game look at the shots they had as well they really put everything they had into this match just at the end of the day it was too much for them they started to get a little bit tired we saw that and the introduction of the man Antonio NSA making it 31 finally broke them in this match they didn't have any more to offer and immediately after that Chavis Simons with a gorgeous go tool making it 4-1 it's a thoroughly deserved victory for leip at the end but they had to fight for it all the [Applause] way so the crowd were here they've been here all morning waiting for this game finally let let into the stadium and this happened toban muel were a amazing pass for this man look at the run here from Raman Safi yeah he loved it too two minutes into the game it was 1 n for R Vice Essen The Underdogs from the Dr Liga the third tier of German football but they came back a gorgeous delivery from hi daa straight into the PA of Benjamin sesko sorry yeah 1-1 and Lois appender was there to make it 2-1 with the first ever cup assist from Benjamin shesco nice to see the 86y old there enjoying the game as well Oto rle was born in hen he saw his team fighting Spirit look at that for a save from yacob gz shesko could not believe it that deserved to be a goal and there would be other opportunities that from hia should have been one long range efforts we had from Essen who they weren't far away you know and then we saw this it was just his second touch after wearing the shirt for the first time for RB leig Antonio NSA and it was 3-1 and then immediately afterwards the slem run with the perfect silky skills from shaby Simons getting the better of a brilliant goalkeeper to make it
