2-0: Nkunku lost his balance and Leipzig revalidated the title

by RB Leipzig Marco Rose closed the season in Germany by reaffirming against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0) the DFB Pokal they won a year ago. This is the second time in its history that the energy team has achieved this title and both times in Catalan Daniel Olmo, who renewed his contract on Thursday and couldn’t have celebrated in a better way.

The final at the Berlin Olympic was very balanced until the last stage, with few chances between two cautious teams that did not take the slightest risk.

In this situation there is almost no room for players who are called to unbalance the game to appear. So, almost no news of Dani Olmo, Dominic Szoboszlai, Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku.

At Eintracht they offered more Mario Götze and, above all, a Randal Kolo Muani that every time it intervenes, it shows its proven quality and generates risk due to its mobility and overflow capacity.

A very tactical first part

The first part, very tactical, offers some highlights. Leipzig started well with a counter which saw Szoboszlai unmarked Werner, but it kicked badly and kevin’s trap he blocked without a problem (5′).

A tight shot of Chief Muani to the side of the net after a defensive error (17′) was Eintracht’s only option as Leipzig finally found the transition to fuck you moments before the break but the Frenchman’s dangerous shot deflected it for a corner Makoto Hasebe.

Eintracht is in danger and concedes the goal

At the start of the second half, the setting did not change until Eintracht seemed to stretch. Gotze and Kolo Muani contacted on several consecutive occasions and on the second of them Trapp repulsed a concentrated German attempt.

Leipzig, clearly superior after 1-0

1-0 deactivated Eintracht, who had no power to react and were left at the mercy of a very good Leipzig late in the game. the sentence came in the 85th minute in an extraordinary choral play that concluded szoboszlai in satisfaction after leaving him alone Nkunku. The Frenchman appeared slow but unbalanced with his goals and assists.

Leipzig, third in the Bundsliga, will play in the Champions League and Eintracht, seventh, missed out on the Europa League as cup champions but they still have it the consolation of joining the next Conference League.
