After two wins in a row, RB Leipzig's women's soccer team suffered another setback. Jonas Stephan's team lost 1:2 (0:1) at Werder Bremen. Michelle Ulbrich (39 minutes) had put the hosts ahead before Marlene Müller (71) equalized. Emöke Papai (81) scored the winner for Werder. Bremen climbed to fourth place with their third win in a row, while RB dropped to ninth in the table.
Bremen had the first half well under control and deservedly took the lead. The Saxons invested more after the break and deservedly equalized. In the closing stages, Leipzig's outstanding Lisa Baum (78') had the chance to win the game with a free-kick, but the ball only touched the far post.
Werder did better: After a long ball, Papai (81') ran up and away and lobbed the ball from 16 meters over the rushing RB goalkeeper Elvira Herzog into the net.
