Another Loss: RB Leipzig Falls to Frankfurt

The RB Leipzig women's soccer team suffered its third consecutive Bundesliga loss. Across all competitions, it was actually the fourth straight loss for Stephan Jonas's team. RB lost 1–5 (0–2) to Eintracht Frankfurt at the Red Bull Arena and also lost Sandra Starke, who was injured during warm-ups. 

Rebecka Blomqvist (11th minute) put the visitors ahead in front of 3,680 spectators, before Amanda Ilestedt (17th) scored with a header. Nina Lührßen (63rd minute), Hayley Raso (74th), and Hanna Bennison (79th) added to the lead. RB managed to pull one back through Alieke Tuin (90th).

Boboy Stopped by Eintracht Goalkeeper Altenburg

Leipzig had its first chance after ten minutes through Delice Boboy, but Eintracht goalkeeper Lina Altenburg made the save. The Hessians were more efficient, promptly capitalizing on their first chance: Blomqvist converted a sharp cross from close range to give her team the lead. Following a set piece, Ilestedt headed the ball over the line.

Leipzig didn’t give up and had another chance to pull one back through Boboy, who slammed the ball against the post from 17 meters out. After the break, she was again denied by goalkeeper Altenburg from a position slightly to the left. The visitors were more clinical, extending their lead through Lührßen, substitute Raso, and Hanna Bennison. Leipzig’s Tuin rewarded RB’s efforts with a spectacular goal from 22 meters, curling the ball directly into the corner.
