RB Leipzig also beats Eintracht in the league

Sesko takes the lead again

The ball landed in the visitors' goal after just 30 seconds. But Openda, who initially failed to beat Kevin Trapp with a lob, was offside when Christoph Baumgartner passed the ball and scored with a follow-up shot. The header from Sesko (19), who jumped higher and headed in after a brilliant save by Trapp from Baumgartner in a direct duel with the keeper, then counted. Two minutes later, the Slovenian had the 2:0 on his feet, this time Trapp was the winner.

In Leipzig's phase of pressure, Eintracht slowly woke up. Maarten Vandevoordt first saved against Larsson (30'), then the crossbar prevented Omar Marmoush from equalizing from a free-kick from 17 metres. When Can Uzun skillfully passed the ball to Brown, who had started the game, he shot from 15 meters out on the half-left to make it 1:1 (40'). Vandevoordt stretched in vain.

After the changeover, the hosts once again got off to the better start. Openda was wide awake after a corner and shot the ball, extended by Baumgartner, into the short corner from half-left close range to make it 2-1. Eintracht remained dangerous, however, repeatedly causing problems for the RB defense.
