SC DHfK Leipzig no chance at the top of the table

The club from Leipzig overslept in the opening spell and trailed 0:4 (6th minute). The visitors then got into the game better, moved the ball faster in attack and effectively prevented Melsungen from playing at pace. In the 17th minute, the score was back to 7:7. A short time later, the weakened hosts, who were without seven regular players, also lost their defensive boss Adrian Sipos to a red card. However, Leipzig were unable to capitalize on this. The front-runners played with more energy and pulled five goals ahead by half-time. Leipzig's pivot Moritz Preuss was also shown a red card shortly before the break.
