The Bundesliga footballers from RB Leipzig took the momentum from their win in Hamburg and secured their second success in a row. In the home game against 1. FC Nuremberg, coach Jonas Stephan's charges came away with a 3:1 (3:0) victory. Marleen Schimmer (4th and 8th minute) had put the hosts ahead with the first two chances. Delice Boboy even increased the lead to 3:0 in the 43rd minute, before Emöke Papai (47) reduced the deficit. RB gained some breathing space in the fight to stay in the league with this latest victory.
Without injured shooting star Lisa Baum, RB put the visitors on the back foot from the very first attacks. Baum replacement Nikoline Dudek first set up Schimmer, who scored from 16 meters flat from the edge of the box. At 2:0, the RB striker flicked the ball into the far corner. Boboy then even had the chance to make it 3-0 in the 9th minute, but was denied by club goalkeeper Lourdes Romero.
After the visitors had evened the game up a little, Boboy increased the lead before the break after a fine running duel. But that was not enough to decide the game, as Nuremberg made it 1:3 immediately after the break when Schimmer (59') struck the aluminum with a free-kick. Leipzig also missed a few more good opportunities.
