Union and RB Leipzig are unable to hold on to their respective leads in the East German clash. As a result, Leipzig missed out on revenge for the heavy defeat in the first leg.

The eastern duel in the Bundesliga has not found a winner. The footballers from RB Leipzig and Union Berlin drew 2:2 (1:2) on matchday 20. With the away point, Union coach Ailien Poese's team defended ninth place in the table ahead of tenth-placed Leipzig.

In front of 1,358 spectators at the RB training center on Cottaweg, including over 300 vocal Union supporters, the visitors took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd minute through Sophie Weidauer after a volley from the right. Lisa Baum (18) equalized for Leipzig.

Leipzig miss out on revenge for first-leg defeat

When Leipzig's Marleen Schimmer scored from distance into the far corner to make it 2-1 a minute before the break, RB looked to have gained revenge for the 5-0 defeat in the first leg on 19 October.

However, Union struck back shortly after the restart. After a corner from Dina Orschmann, Samantha Steuerwald headed in from close range to make it 2:2. It stayed that way until the end, even though both teams were out to win.

Leipzig continue their campaign on March 22 with a home match against SC Freiburg. Union will host Werder Bremen at Stadion An der Alten Försterei on March 23.
