The game featured a series of bookings, reflecting its competitive edge. RB Leipzig saw yellow cards for Ridle Baku (33′), Nicolas Seiwald (47′), Xaver Schlager (78′) and Brajan Gruda (82′), while Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Joseph Scally was cautioned in the 35th minute.

Both coaches turned to their benches in search of solutions. Leipzig introduced Johan Bakayoko and Assan Ouédraogo in the 66th minute, followed by Brajan Gruda and Benjamin Henrichs in the 78th minute, and later Max Finkgräfe for match-winner Diomandé in stoppage time. Gladbach responded with Hugo Bolin as an early substitute for Lukas Ullrich, later bringing on Fabio Chiarodia, Wael Mohya, Shuto Machino and Kevin Stöger as they chased an equaliser.

The visitors, however, were unable to find a way past Leipzig, who held firm to protect their narrow advantage until the final whistle. Detailed statistics such as possession figures, shots on goal, lineups and attendance were not available in the provided data.
