The Bundesliga footballers from RB Leipzig have suffered their second defeat in a row. They lost 3:4 (2:3) at Eintracht Frankfurt in Monday evening's match. The goals for the Saxons were scored by Annabel Schasching (26th minute), Marleen Schimmer (45th + 2nd) and Giovanna Hoffmann (85th) in front of 2,500 spectators at the Stadion am Brentanobad. Rebecka Blomqvist (39th/56th), Ereleta Memeti (10th) and Amanda Ilestedt (43rd) scored for the hosts.
After the restart, however, the favorites stifled Leipzig's hopes of scoring early on. Leipzig remained harmless in attack and were lucky that Eintracht were so careless with their opportunities. Only a ball loss by Frankfurt's Jella Veit in her own penalty area led to the third goal by international striker Hoffmann. That was as good as it got against the clever hosts.
