Leipzig undefeated since the Bundesliga resumed, he has still not won at home and this Saturday he could not win to the bottom side Paderborn, who avoided his defeat in the discount thanks to a goal from Christian Strohdiek (1-1). A blow for those of Julian Nagelsmann against an opponent who is on the verge of certifying his descent.
Schick scored the only goal for Leipzig, which was almost worth the victory but in the end it was not. Leipzig is 3rd in the table. Timo Werner, who will not play for Liverpool but will play for Chelsea next season, was unable to score, but gave Schick the pass for the only goal of the match.
It was going to be a triumph of hope for Leipzig, in the midst of fighting to go to the Champions League. He did not succeed. Leipzig, Borussia Mönchengladbach (who lost 0-1 to Freiburg on Friday) and Bayer Leverkusen (this Saturday they lost 2-4 to Bayern), three teams, are fighting for two places. Leipzig currently have 3 points more than Borussia M’gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.
Upamecano, sent off in the 43rd minute
Czech Patrik Schick's goal was the face of the first half for Leipzig. The cross was that Dayot Upamecano saw the second yellow card in the 43rd minute, so Julian Nagelsmann's team was forced to play with ten the entire second half. He had received the first warning in the 17th minute.
Schick scored after receiving a ball from Timo Werner in the 27th minute. From there Leipzig controlled the match without being able to sentence him. In the second half, even without creating clear chances, Paderborn managed to get Leipzig to bog down the game.
In addition, Zingerle, goalkeeper of the last classified of the German championship, prevented with his success that Leipzig, in numerical inferiority, increased his advantage, as in his great intervention after a play by Dani Olmo. Werner missed a good opportunity and in the 92 'Christian Strohdiek took advantage of a rejection of the goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi after a shot by Marlon Ritter to give the tie to Paderborn.
