Sabitzer picks up a yellow card for booting the ball away as the referee awarded a free-kick to Bayern. Could this lead to a dramatic winner?
90' +1
There are just two minutes of added time for someone to find a late winner.
88'
Philippe Coutinho enters the game and replaces Thiago Alcântara.
Thiago comes off for Coutinho as Kovac makes a late gamble to try and win the game.
87'
Leipzig are in the ascendancy and Bayern are getting a little pinned back at the moment, but Leipzig just can't find the breakthrough.
85'
Mukiele knows he's offside as the ball is switched to him on the right. He would have been in a great position if the pass had come a fraction earlier.
83'
Cunha turns well in midfield and sends Werner on his way down the left. Sule gets himself in a good position to hold him up, but the cross comes in anyway. It's cleared, however, and Bayern find themselves under pressure now.
81'
Matheus Cunha enters the game and replaces Y. Poulsen.
Poulsen, who has worked tirelessly today, comes off for Cunha up front.
80'
K. Laimer gets yellow.
Davies charges Laimer down and the midfielder clips the winger with a swinging arm. It's very similar to the clash between Lewandowski and Halstenberg earlier, except that the Leipzig man is the only one booked this time.
78'
C. Nkunku gets yellow.
Substitute Nkunku earns himself a yellow card for a foul on Kimmich in midfield.
Minute
Description
75'
WIDE! Sule nods the corner back across goal but Konate heads clear, before the Bayern defender sends a shot just wide of the bottom-right corner.
73'
Pavard lofts a cross into the middle from the right that Lewandowski throws himself at, but he can't make contact and it's behind for a corner.
71'
There's a brief lull as Bayern keep their foot on the ball and take a collective breather. This game is still very much in the balance.
69'
C. Nkunku enters the game and replaces E. Forsberg.
Forsberg, the goalscorer, comes off for Nkunku, a summer signing from Paris Saint-Germain.
68'
Davies has demonstrated a real turn of pace since coming on. He motors away from his markers with such ease, and nearly finds Lewandowski in the box as the pair link up on the left, but he's denied by a good block.
63'
C. Tolisso enters the game and replaces T. Müller.
Tolisso also enters the fray for Muller in a strange substitution by Kovac, bringing an attacking player off for a more defensive-minded midfielder. Perhaps he wants more control in midfield.
62'
A. Davies enters the game and replaces S. Gnabry.
Gnabry, who has had a quiet game, comes off for teenage winger Davies.
57'
J. Boateng gets yellow.
Boateng clatters into Werner in midfield and picks up a deserved yellow for his recklessness.
55'
SHOT! Werner has an ambitious strike from distance that takes a nick off a defender and goes behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.
48'
Konate stretches his legs and gets down the right before feeding Mukiele, who has moved to right-back. His cross is too high though and Sule heads clear!
46'
D. Demme enters the game and replaces L. Klostermann.
Klostermann is replaced by Demme at the break as Nagelsmann makes his first change of the night.
We're off again for the second half!
45' +4
HALF-TIME: RB LEIPZIG 1-1 BAYERN MUNICH
45' +3
Penalty goal scored by E. Forsberg for RB Leipzig!
GOAL! Forsberg dispatches his penalty into the right corner of the net! Neuer dived the right way, but the Swede's strike was precise and had enough power to take it past the goalkeeper! It's 1-1!
45'
Coman has had Halstenberg on toast in his half and he beats him again with a couple of stepovers before driving to the byline. The wing-back just about recovers to stop the cross and concede a corner.
43'
Konate contests a bouncing ball with Lewandowski and the striker goes down holding his face. Konate did clip him slightly when jumping for his header, but it wasn't intentional.
35'
Bayern play some quick interchanges and very nearly pick their way through the Leipzig defence, but a deflection takes it back to Gulasci, who can catch.
33'
SHOT! Lewandowski has a pocket of space and he lines up a curled shot from distance, but it's tame and an easy take for Gulasci.
29'
Coman tricks his way down the Bayern right and squirms between two defenders as he reaches the corner of the box, before being felled just outside the area. Lovely skill from the winger.
27'
SHOT! Werner has a chance to strike at goal as Forsberg releases him into space, but his scuffs his effort and it trickles through to Neuer.
26'
R. Lewandowski gets yellow.
M. Halstenberg gets yellow.
Lewandowski picks up a yellow card for throwing an arm into the face of Halstenberg, who went down in a heap after challenging him for the ball.
Halstenberg is bewildered as he also receives a yellow card. He isn't best pleased with the decision.
24'
Bayern are stroking it around with relative ease at the moment. Leipzig just can't get themselves on the ball.
22'
Thiago is dispossessed in midfield but it rolls back to Boateng for what should be an easy take. However, he slices a terrible, hurried pass into midfield and Leipzig can break, forcing Sule to hack clear from Poulsen's cross.
20'
Coman bursts forward on the right and bamboozles Halstenberg with a clever piece of skill as he gets to the byline and cuts back, but his cross is poor and Leipzig survive.
18'
Hernandez drives a cross into the box but it's defended well and hacked clear. Bayern starting to impose themselves now.
16'
Kimmich and Thiago battle well in midfield but the ball is deflected to Sabitzer. He tries to switch the play but the ball swerves in the air and sails into touch.
10'
Boateng launches the ball forward for Lewandowksi, but the Polish striker had strayed just offside.
8'
The intensity of the game has dropped just a fraction, but neither side has been able to assert their dominance on the game and control proceedings as yet.
6'
Nagelsmann cuts a frustrated figure on the sidelines. That wasn't in his plans and his team have now made an already difficult task even harder.
3'
R. Lewandowski has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by T. Müller.
GOAL!! BAYERN TAKE THE LEAD! Leipzig started on the front foot but the attack broke down and Muller played a wonderful ball through for Lewandowski, who stayed onside to go clean through on goal! He kept his composure and slotted home past Gulasci once the keeper had committed. It's 1-0 to Bayern inside the first three minutes!
Muller, despite being under pressure on the left, spotted the run of Lewandowski and executed a difficult throughball with aplomb. Great work from the German.

We're off for the start of the first half!
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Bundesliga fixture between RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich at the Red Bull Arena.
Leipzig face a tough test to maintain their perfect start to the season so far. Julian Nagelsmann's side are the only outfit to have won all of their first three Bundesliga games and a win would take them three points clear at the top of the table.
Reigning champions Bayern Munich are still unbeaten, however, and will not want to allow their opponents to open up a five-point gap on them as they seek to retain their league crown.
RB Leipzig XI (3-4-3): Peter Gulasci; Nordi Mukiele, Ibrahima Konate, Willi Orban; Lukas Klostermann, Emil Forsberg, Konrad Laimer, Marcel Halstenberg; Marcel Sabitzer, Timo Werner, Yussuf Poulsen
RB Leipzig substitutes: Ademola Lookman, Patrik Schick, Amadou Haidara, Yvon Mvogo, Stefan Ilsanker, Christopher Nkunku, Ethan Ampadu, Matheus Cunha, Diego Demme
Bayern Munich XI (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Benjamin Pavard, Niklas Sule, Jerome Boateng, Lucas Hernandez; Joshua Kimmich, Thiago Alcantara; Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller, Kingsley Coman; Robert Lewandowski
Bayern Munich substitutes: Sven Ulreich, Alphonso Davies, Philippe Coutinho, Jann-Fiete Arp, Michael Cuisance, Ivan Perisic, Javi Martinez, Corentin Tolisso
Boateng has replaced David Alaba - who was set to start - as the left-back picked up an injury in the warm-up, meaning Hernandez will play at left-back.
There goes the half-time whistle! Leipzig conceded to a Bayern counter-attack right at the start of the game as Muller found Lewandowski, who kept his composure to slot home. A penalty to Bayern was rightly overturned following a VAR check late in the half, but Forsberg fired home a correctly-awarded spot-kick of his on the stroke of half-time to restore parity! It's 1-1 at the break!
Leipzig started with intensity but dropped off, allowing Bayern to dominate for most of the half. However, they stepped their game up a notch towards the end of the 45 and pushed their opponents into making mistakes. Nagelsmann will demand that they play more like that for the rest of the game.
There goes the full-time whistle! Leipzig and Bayern share the spoils after Lewandowski's early goal and Forsberg's penalty on the stroke of half-time - goals that were separated by almost exactly 45 minutes. Borussia Dortmund will be delighted to see their title rivals drop points, although Sule could have grabbed a winner with the last touch of the game had it not been for Gulasci's timely intervention. It finishes 1-1!
Thank you for joining our coverage, we hope you enjoyed the game. Until next time, goodbye!
Both sides are in Champions League action next week, with Bayern hosting Red Star Belgrade while Leipzig travel to Benfica. On the domestic front, the champions' next challenge is a visit from Koln as Leipzig head to Werder Bremen.
