RB Leipzig has in the Champions League league phase the first win in the seventh game celebrated. After six defeats in a row in the premier class, the German Bundesliga team defeated on Wednesday Sporting Lisbon 2:1 (1:0) through. ÖFB legionnaire Nicolas Seiwald played through for the Leipzig team, teammate Christoph Baumgartner Yussuf Poulsen provided the assist to make it 2-1 (78th) and was substituted in the 84th minute. Xavier Schlager was still missing injured.
The “Bulls” from Trainer Marco Rose went through a goal from the ex-Salzburg player Benjamin Sesko (19th) in the lead. Scored a little later David Raum the supposed 2-0 after a dream pass from Baumgartner. Because Lois Openda minimally influenced a Sporting defender from a controversial offside position, the goal was disallowed after VAR intervention. The one who came on at halftime Viktor Gyökeres (75th) equalized for the Portuguese with a powerful shot into the short corner of the cross before Poulsen made the decision after a Baumgartner pass.
Leipzig joins Klagenfurt next Wednesday Storm Graz (9 p.m., live Sky). The Play-off is unattainable for both teams.
