RB Leipzig lose again: VfB party with three-packer Undav

Rose's hopes were not fulfilled. "We now have to get back on track and need a result. Then we'll also be in a position to start a series," the RB coach said on Sky before kick-off: "We're already being critical of ourselves, but on the other hand it's not about losing our nerve."

VfB had struggled to convert their chances in the first two games after the winter break. After a somewhat cautious start, a handball penalty initially helped against RB: Referee Sven Jablonski first looked at the scene on the screen, in which a header from Dan-Axel Zagadou had hit RB defender Mohamed Simakan's hand. Then the penalty was awarded: Millot confidently converted into the left corner. RB keeper Janis Blaswich had opted for the other side.

The Stuttgart fans had long since ended their silence of the first few minutes. Tennis balls were also thrown onto the pitch in renewed protest against the potential entry of investors into the German Football League.

With the lead behind them, the hosts continued with vigor and the supporters were soon able to cheer again: After Leipzig lost the ball in midfield, Hoeneß' team played quickly forward. Undav fired home from outside the penalty area - 2:0.
