The Leipzig team started extremely strong, put pressure on them right from the start and used their third good chance to take an early lead: Benjamin Sesko broke through on the left and passed to Xaver Schlager, whose cross pass landed at Xavi, who received the ball with outstanding technical skills and turned in Box sunk (7th). Just two minutes later, Sesko missed a great chance to score. Leverkusen took a while to get into the game, but after half an hour (clearly dominated by RB) they had the expected fast-paced exchange of blows with many dangerous scenes – although here too the Leipzig team seemed a bit more dangerous.
Different picture after the break: Now the guests clearly set the tone and scored early. Nathan Tella, who came on in the first half for the injured Jeremie Frimpong, finished after a pass from Alejandro Grimaldo (47th). Then it became spectacular: Florian Wirtz had a chance to make it 2-1 in the 55th minute, but was denied by RB keeper Janis Blaswich’s sensational parry. After the corner was due, RB countered the guests no less impressively via the stations Xavi – Olmo – Openda (56th). Leipzig’s 2-1 win did not change the balance of power in the second half. The Werkself combined, pressed, dominated and was more dangerous. However, she “only” scored goals from corners: first Jonathan Tah was successful with a header (63rd), then Piero Hincapie at the end. Once again in stoppage time. Like a team that becomes German champions.
