Leipzig continues to write successful lines in its chronicle. Everything important was decided only after the break, while the key moment was in charge of alternating Tyler Adams two minutes before the end.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s charges created the first major chance of this race, thanks to Halstenberg, however, his attempt ended just above the goal. Atlético scored significantly for the first time in the 13th minute, when Carrasco fired between the three bars, but the goalkeeper Gulácsi hit. Kampl fired in the 17th minute, but missed the goal of the Spanish team.
Otherwise, the first half offered no offensive spectacle. In the end, Upamecano tried to change his goal without a goal, but Oblak managed to eliminate his header anyway. Savič, on the other hand, worked his way to the end with his head and Gulácsi did not have to use his gloves in the end, as the shot was aimed only at the lock.
Shortly after the turnaround, the match began to become much more dramatized. Leipzig started a goal in 51 minutes. Laimer increased the visitors’ lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. His shot came in from the right hand side but Daniel Olmo managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. The cloud stretched across the balloon in vain.
Twenty minutes later, the Madrid team managed to equalize. Substitute Joao Félix has been playing for a few tens of seconds since entering the match and has already awarded a penalty to his team. He slipped through the defense until the penalty area, where Klostermann clearly defeated him, and Judge Marciniak ordered a penalty. He then turned it himself, fouled by a sharp shot to the pole.
The last important word was taken by Die Roten Bullen. In the 88th minute, they took care of a key accurate hit, thanks to which they secured the continuation of the millionaire competition. Angeliňo stretched to the places on the left side line of the penalty area, found Adams with his pass, which he immediately aimed, and thanks to the unfortunate flow of the defending Savič, Meruna ended up in the final in the goal net.
