The RB Leipzig footballers remain stuck in the second half of the Bundesliga table. On matchday 12, Jonas Stephan's team lost 3:2 (0:3) at Bayer Leverkusen after a disastrous first half. The comeback in the second half was not rewarded.
Loreen Bender (2nd) and Estrella Merino Gonzalez (9th) got the hosts off to a great start at the Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion. Former Leipzig player Vanessa Fudalla gave Leverkusen an even more comfortable lead with a converted penalty (17').
However, the visitors turned up the heat after the break. Marlene Müller in the 56th minute and Emilia Asgeirsdottir (60th) restored parity. In a very dynamic encounter, both teams had several chances to score further goals, making the game extremely exciting right to the end.
