00:00THE CHAMPIONS!
00:05Benjamin Cesko scored twice on Saturday and got Leipzig's goal in that opening Champions League game of the season at Atletico.
00:14Danilo and Ruhi are moving to the bench.
00:18Two sides who had contrasting fortunes on matchday one. Leipzig took an early lead but conceded late on to lose at Atletico.
00:33Niko Gonzalez is now down, holding his right thigh.
00:47Francisco Conceicao came on to score having not played since suffering a thigh injury in early September.
01:00Many goals that Leipzig actually conceded in the Bundesliga this term came against the defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
01:10They might be in trouble here though. Galachi with a sharp reaction to keep that one out.
01:18Now it's Offender.
01:23Looking for Cesko, finding him and he has found a magnificent finish. What a goal from RB Leipzig.
01:34It's that combination again. Lois Offender and Benjamin Cesko.
01:41Using the pace of Lois Offender and the vision and execution on this pass was exemplary.
01:48And then what about this for a finish from Benjamin Cesko.
01:54It is a red hot strike from Cesko.
02:02Yildiz who scored that stunner on matchday one with a struggle to make it in the inroads tonight.
02:08That's a good try though.
02:11Facioli not too far away.
02:15It's not been easy to score against Juventus this season, but it was something special from Benjamin Cesko
02:22that broke the Italian's rearguard in the first half at the interval here.
02:30Carried forwards by Facioli. McKennie, nicely done.
02:34Should have been 1-1. Turned Coatminers off the post, but it should have been back of the net.
02:42First time they've really sliced Leipzig open. Such awareness by McKennie here.
02:48Coatminers took it first time and couldn't take the chance.
02:53That's a let off for Leipzig. It should be all square.
02:56A bit more cut and thrust about them.
02:59A bit of skill there by Konstantin Saud. It's worked out wide now for Cambiasso.
03:03Good ball. 1-1.
03:08Dusan Flavic is there to level for Juve.
03:12They've started the second half well.
03:15And not long after the restart, they are back on terms.
03:23Germany. It's a super ball in.
03:26But that is a real striker's finish from Dusan Flavic.
03:33But in front of his man, knew exactly what he was trying to do.
03:36Just get the little nick.
03:38Openda has shrugged off Kalulu and is eating up the turf here.
03:42Lois Openda gets it back again.
03:47So unlucky.
03:49Both sides thudding against the post.
03:53In the second half, just not quite enough.
03:56Xavi Simons.
03:59Juve with the upper hand, but Leipzig still have plenty of attacking talent.
04:05Adara.
04:09Raumes with ball in.
04:11And Szczesko's three.
04:14Szczesko. Xavi Simons.
04:17Look at the numbers they've got forwards here.
04:19Openda. Round the keeper.
04:21Left the ball behind, but says it was off the arm of Di Gregorio.
04:28Pretty good candidates over the ball here for Leipzig.
04:36It's Simons. It's deflected and it's narrowly over the top.
04:40And this time, they're asking for a handball Leipzig.
04:49And he's going to go and have a look at it.
04:55Well, what a few minutes this could be in the context of the game.
05:00VAR intervenes to lead to Francois Leitexier dismissing Michele Di Gregorio.
05:09And now he's looking to see if Douglas Luiz has given away a penalty seconds after coming on.
05:17Well, that was his first job was to get in the ball after he was introduced for Samona.
05:25And has that attempted block there led to the concession of a penalty?
05:31It has. Incredible.
05:36Douglas Luiz with a miserable...
05:50Cesco. Call as you like.
05:54Leipzig back in front.
05:57And you never really had any doubt that he was going to dispatch that.
06:03Leipzig with a one goal lead and a one man advantage.
06:08And they will be kicking themselves if they don't see this one out now.
06:15Penalty there from the Juventus players.
06:20Fagioli. Good run. Fagioli!
06:24Danced his way into the area beautifully.
06:29Given away cheaply by Xavi Simons.
06:35And that's a good try. It's an exceptional goal.
06:41Dusan Vlavic with a belter.
06:47And the ten men are back on terms.
06:53This is a sensational strike from Dusan Vlavic.
06:59We saw the predatory instincts for his first goal.
07:03This is just wonderful technique to whip it over Galatchian in.
07:11Well, the two star centre-forwards have delivered this evening.
07:18Two for Cesco and now two for Dusan Vlavic as well.
07:24That is some response from Thiago Motta's men.
07:29Hendricks forwards. Xavi Simons. Cesco, who's on a hat-trick.
07:34Now Openda. He's going to have a goal! It's off the post!
07:39Chances continue to rain down. And here's another!
07:44Openda wide. Complete chaos at the moment in Leipzig.
07:50Didn't get the ball away after they got a bit fortunate when it came off the post.
07:54Zaidara quickly onto it. And Openda from there will feel he should be doing better.
08:01Having won it, Xavi Simons will deliver it.
08:08And he's gone for goal!
08:11Willy Orban tried to...
08:16Simons. Good carry. Still going. Xavi Simons lays it off. Nusa!
08:26Brown makes the offer. Simons. Nusa. Openda! And still...
08:34And gathered safely by Perrin.
08:41Charging forwards. Pierre Kalulu.
08:47Fagioli.
08:50Konsei Sao.
08:54Konsei Sao's done well! Oh my word!
08:59This is extraordinary!
09:03The ten men of Juventus lead at Leipzig!
09:07Thanks to a moment of magic!
09:11Kalulu then galloped up the pitch.
09:14Whatever Blavic was trying to do here, he didn't quite get it right.
09:20However, Konsei Sao wriggled his way into the area.
09:25Got past Raul. Bent it beyond Castello and Galachian into the net.
09:31What a wonderful piece of work this is from Konsei Sao.
09:34Darted inside of Raul.
09:37And then had the composure to beat both Castello and Galachian in the Leipzig goal.
09:47Sensational skill. Calm finish. And what a finish to this game.
09:56Konsei Sao.
09:59Just decided to do it all on his own.
10:02Absolutely did David Raul.
10:05And then just had the composure.
10:10Met by Federico Catti and this is a potential Juventus success after those early setbacks through injury as well.
10:19Xavi Simons.
10:22Vermeeren.
10:24Raul's up there.
10:25Raul's up there.
10:26Oh, Dendrochescu!
10:31The referee.
10:33McKinney.
10:36Given away to Xavi Simons.
10:39Lovely gliding run by Xavi Simons.
10:42Eating up the turf in front of him.
10:43Raul's cut back.
10:44Andre Silva.
10:47Xavi Simons.
10:49Now it's Nusa.
10:53Nusa clips it in.
10:56Incredible.
10:59That will surely be that.
11:02Vili Orban right at the end with the opportunity to snatch a point.
11:08But it was right at the keeper.
11:12A win for the ages for Juventus.
11:15Thiago Mottas side down to 10 men and trailing 2-1.
11:20Turn it around to win at Leipzig.
11:23With Francisco Concezal's wonder goal.
