Paderborn still have time to score a second and pull off the unlikeliest of victories. Leipzig have sat back a little too much in this second period and have been made to pay.
90' +2
C. Strohdiek has scored a goal for Paderborn!
GOOOOAAAAALLL!!!!! LEIPZIG 1-1 PADERBORN!!! Ritter's shot is parried by Gulacsi and Strohdiek is there to convert the rebound. The division's bottom side have surely snatched a point from Leipzig, ending their opponents' slim title hopes in the process.
90'
It is backs to the wall stuff from Leipzig now as they look to see out the four minutes of added time. It has not been pretty at times, but they are very nearly over the line.
88'
W. Orbán enters the game and replaces K. Kampl.
Nagelsmann makes his final change of the contest by bringing on Orban for Kampl.
86'
SIDE-NETTING! Antwi-Adjei has a tiny gap to aim for at Gulacsi's near post and he is unable to find it, instead picking out the side-netting with the scuffed shot.
85'
B. Zolinski enters the game and replaces D. Srbeny.
A. Evans enters the game and replaces L. Jans.
Evans is on for Jans in the fourth of Paderborn's changes.
Srbeny makes way for Zolinski with around five minutes to go.
83'
Mukiele slides in to dispossess Michel and the final touch comes off the Leipzig substitute.
82'
With Leipzig stuck inside their own half, Michel stupidly pulls back on his opponent to give away a free-kick. Nagelsmann's men are very nearly over the line for a 17th league win of the season.
80'
Only Werder Bremen have scored fewer goals than Paderborn in the Bundesliga this season, and it is clear why on the basis of today's performance. The visitors just cannot create a chance of any note.
Minute
Description
78'
Paderborn are running out of time - not only in terms of today's game, but also in terms of their survival chances. The visitors have edged possession in the second half, yet they have only managed a single attempt on target.
76'
M. Ritter enters the game and replaces K. Gjasula.
A. Sabiri enters the game and replaces K. Pröger.
Sabiri, who has three Bundesliga goals this season, comes on for Proger.
Ritter is on for the booked Gjasula in Paderborn's latest change.
75'
Proger gets away from his man down the right, but Angelino recovers to cut out the attempted cross. From the resulting corner, the ball loops into the air and Michel barges into Halstenberg to concede a free-kick.
74'
Leipzig have stepped off again. Just as Paderborn get players forward, Jans horribly overhits a cross straight out of play.
73'
The match is finely poised with a little over 15 minutes to go. Werner uses his pace to chase down his own pass down the left-hand flank, but play is brought back for a foul.
70'
Despite being down to 10 men, and focusing largely on defending in the second half, Leipzig have looked the more likely to score the game's second goal. Collins' left-sided cross is easily gathered by Gulacsi.
65'
K. Laimer enters the game and replaces Dani Olmo.
A third change for 10-man Leipzig now as Olmo makes way for Laimer.
63'
C. Strohdiek gets yellow.
S. Michel enters the game and replaces S. Mamba.
Strohdiek is cautioned by referee Deniz Aytekin for pulling back on Werner's shirt.
Mamba is off and Michel on in his place as Baumgart changes things around.
60'
Leipzig are dealing with everything that Paderborn are throwing at them which, admittedly, is not that much. Olmo plays a smart pass to instigate a counter, but Strohdiek cuts out the ball before Werner can get to it.
58'
A. Haidara enters the game and replaces C. Nkunku.
Nkunku is replaced by Haidara in the second of Leipzig's changes.
57'
Paderborn are bossing possession, but Leipzig boss Nagelsmann will not be all that concerned as the visitors are creating next to nothing. Collins' latest cross from the left is badly overhit.
56'
Mukiele goes right through Srbeny and Paderborn have an opportunity to cross the ball into the box from the free-kick. Proger gets plenty of whip behind it and Gulacsi has to get down to push the ball aside.
54'
Werner leads the Leipzig counter and does very well to hold the ball up. Olmo eventually joins him but the attack fizzles out.
53'
Collins' pass finds its way to Mamba but the Paderborn striker loses his bearings and cannot get a clean shot away.
52'
It is one-way traffic at Red Bull Arena, with Leipzig camped deep inside their own half. Remember, Paderborn have never so much as earned a draw against today's opponents in four previous meetings.
50'
The ball goes out of play off Adams for a corner. The set-piece is swung in from the left and Gulacsi races off his line to slap it clear. Another corner is won and cleared as far as Vasiliadis, whose curled shot is blocked.
48'
Adams appears to be playing at right wing-back, with Angelino on the other flank, as Leipzig go with a 5-3-1 of sorts. The hosts are sitting very deep inside their own half at the start of the second period.
46'
M. Halstenberg enters the game and replaces P. Schick.
RESTART! Ten-man Leipzig, who will move up to second place if they hold to their victory, get us back up and running.
Leipzig goalscorer Schick is sacrificed for Halstenberg, who will slot into defence.
45' +1
HALF-TIME: RB LEIPZIG 1-0 PADERBORN
45'
One minute has been added on at the end of the first half at Red Bull Arena.
44'
The visitors have been visibly boosted by Upamecano's red card. They get bodies forward and Vasiliadis tries his luck, but the attempt is well off target.
43'
S. Mamba gets yellow.
D. Upamecano gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
LEIPZIG DOWN TO 10! Now then! Upamecano, booked for a foul on Srbeny earlier in the game, is shown a second yellow card for dissent. Unhappy with a decision that went against him, the centre-back booted the ball away and must now make his way down the tunnel.
Mamba is the latest player to enter the referee's book for his mistimed challenge.
41'
Paderborn are enjoying the occasional spell in possession high up the pitch. However, they have only managed one effort on target so far.
40'
Antwi-Adjei gets the better of Mukiele, but the Leipzig defender sticks out a leg to knock the ball out of play for a corner. The Paderborn set-piece disappointingly comes to little.
38'
Nagelsmann's men are having to remain patient in their pursuit of a second goal. Paderborn are desperate to play out from the back again, but some high pressing from the hosts forces them to launch it forward.
36'
Werner has had 23 touches of the ball so far and created three chances, including the assist for Schick's opener. Leipzig have not quite got out of second gear but they are doing enough to keep hold of their lead.
34'
Schick drifts to the right but cannot link up with strike partner Werner. Olmo then catches Antwi-Adjei on the boot and is perhaps fortunate to only get a quick talking to from the referee.
32'
Leipzig are looking a lot more confident after opening the scoring through Schick's 10th Bundesliga goal of the campaign. Paderborn kept Dortmund at bay for nearly an hour last week, remember, before going on to concede six times.
30'
Antwi-Adjei holds the ball up on the edge of the box. Rather than go for the shot, he plays it to Proger to his right and the wayward attempt is watched all the way by Gulacsi.
28'
U. Hünemeier gets yellow.
Hunemeier fouls Olmo and joins Upamecano and team-mate Gjasula in being shown a yellow card.
27'
P. Schick has scored a goal for RB Leipzig! Assist by T. Werner.
GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! LEIPZIG 1-0 PADERBORN!!! Werner carries the ball into the box and squares it to Schick, who sends a first-time shot spinning away from Zingerle into the bottom-right corner. The goal is allowed to stand following a VAR check for a possible offside.
Werner once again shows that there is more to his game than simply scoring goals. He could have gone it alone but instead picked out Schick to round off a well-worked attack.
26'
Paderborn midfielder Gjasula puts his laces through the ball and sends a 25-yarder spinning well wide.
25'
The home team are still struggling to create much of anything in the final third. In fact, it is bottom side Paderborn who have looked the livelier over the last five minutes, without being able to test Gulacsi.
24'
Leipzig press high up the pitch but Paderborn are able to play out from the back. The ball is flicked in behind for Srbeny, but he is marginally offside.
21'
K. Gjasula gets yellow.
Gjasula enters the referee's book for catching Mukiele a little late on the foot. That is his 16th yellow card in the Bundesliga this term, equalling the record.
20'
That was the first time Werner has been able to really get at the Paderborn defence. Leipzig have just started to step things up in the last few minutes.
19'
WERNER COMES CLOSE! Werner races into the box and cuts inside from the left. He has plenty of the goal to aim for, but Hunemeier makes a vital block to prevent a certain goal.
17'
Proger whips in the free-kick but it is easily dealt with by Leipzig. Baumgart's side have given a good account of themselves in the opening 17 minutes.
16'
D. Upamecano gets yellow.
Upamecano gets plenty of Srbeny and none of the ball, leading to the first yellow card of the contest.
14'
Leipzig have not really managed to find their rhythm yet. They have had more of the ball - 64-per-cent possession to Paderborn's 36 - but have only created one shooting opportunity so far.
12'
A mix-up at the back between Klostermann and Upamecano allows Srbeny to get a shot away from 25 yards. The effort is rather weak and Gulacsi barely has to break stride to make the save.
10'
SHOT! Werner feeds the ball to Nkunku and he cuts inside from the left. Space opens up for the midfielder to shoot and he does exactly that, but Zingerle is able to push it to safety.
9'
Kampl is penalised for a handball infringement before he can lift the ball over Paderborn's defence. It has been a pretty open start to the contest so far, with the visitors not exactly sitting back - they need the points.
7'
A cross goes behind off Angelino and Paderborn have the game's first corner, which is successfully defended. Up the other end, Schick tries wriggling free but is unable to do so.
5'
The ball is played long towards Werner down the middle, but it has a little too much on it and Zingerle can collect.
4'
EARLY SAVE! The ball is flicked into the path of Olmo and he looks up to find an unmarked Werner. The striker's shot takes a deflection on its way through to Zingerle, who has a routine stop to make down the middle.
2'
Werner, who reportedly agreed personal terms with Chelsea this week, is already heavily involved in Leipzig's build-up play. The ball is worked down the right but the cross does not arrive.
1'
KICK-OFF! Paderborn, in desperate need of three points to keep their slim survival hopes alive, get us underway!
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Bundesliga clash between RB Leipzig and Paderborn at Red Bull Arena.
Third-place Leipzig are unbeaten in their last 10 league matches, but they have drawn six of those and trail leaders Bayern Munich by nine points with five games to go. Julian Nagelsmann's men did return to form last time out, however, thanks to a comfortable 4-2 win over Cologne.
In complete contrast to their opponents, Paderborn are without a win in 10 Bundesliga games and have won just four times all season. Steffen Baumgart's side lost 6-1 at home to Borussia Dortmund last weekend and are eight points adrift of the relegation play-off spot.
Subs: Konrad Laimer, Hannes Wolf, Yvon Mvogo, Emil Forsberg, Marcel Halstenberg, Ademola Lookman, Amadou Haidara, Ibrahima Konate, Willi Orban.
LEIPZIG XI (4-4-2): Peter Gulacsi (c); Nordi Mukiele, Lukas Klostermann, Dayot Upamecano, Angelino; Dani Olmo, Tyler Adams, Kevin Kampl, Christopher Nkunku; Timo Werner, Patrik Schick.
Subs: Antony Evans, Marlon Ritter, Jannik Huth, Sven Michel, Dennis Jastrzembski, Mohamed Drager, Abdelhamid Sabiri, Ben Zolinski, Jan-Luca Rumpf.
PADERBORN XI (4-2-3-1): Leopold Zingerle; Laurent Jans, Christian Strohdiek (c), Uwe Hunemeier, Jamilu Collins; Klaus Gjasula, Sebastian Vasiliadis; Kai Proger, Dennis Srbeny, Christopher Antwi-Adjei; Streli Mamba.
The teams are coming out onto the pitch at Red Bull Arena, with kick-off just moments away. This game will be played without any supporters present, as will every other Bundesliga game for the foreseeable future.
Nagelsmann opted against making a substitution following Upamecano's dismissal, though that may well change at half-time, with Halstenberg one possible option for the hosts to plug the gap at the back. As for Paderborn, they need goals and could therefore turn to Sabiri.
Leipzig, who have now drawn five of their last seven Bundesliga matches, are three points better off than Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen in fourth and fifth respectively. Nagelsmann's side still have work to do if they are to finish in the top four, then, with a trip to Hoffenheim up next. As for Paderborn, they are eight points adrift at the bottom ahead of next week's clash with fellow strugglers Werder Bremen.
That is all for today's live coverage. Thanks for joining!
