Not our day in Wolfsburg!

Both sides looked to get forward early on in the game, but Wolfsburg drew first blood. Jonas Wind scored a header in the ninth minute to give the Wolves an early lead. Despite going behind, Leipzig were dominant for the rest of the first half and had a number of good chances to equalise. Lois Openda was denied by Koen Casteels twice (17', 27') and Wolfsburg's keeper was also equal to Yussuf Poulsen's header in the 20th minute. Leipzig continued to pile the pressure on the Wolves, but just couldn't find an equaliser before the half-time whistle.

Leipzig got a well-deserved equaliser early on in the second half. Benjamin Henrichs played a delicate ball to put Openda through on goal. Our number 17 unselfishly squared it to Yussuf Poulsen, who poked the ball home to make it 1-1 (52'). RBL had opportunities to take the lead shortly afterwards, but Yussi and Lois were unable to convert their chances (60').

Wolfsburg punished Leipzig's sloppy finishing, as Jonas Wind gave the ball to Rogerio in the box, who then smashed the ball into the top corner to put VfL back in front (66'). Leipzig continued to push for an equaliser, but Wolfsburg sat back and held on to their lead until the final whistle.
