He Leipzig he said goodbye to the year and Emil Forsberg of Leipzig to head to Major League Soccer, failing to extend the winning streak and following the footsteps of Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, the competition’s dominants.
Real Madrid’s rivals won in the round of 16 of the Champions League. He is more dominant Werder Bremen and approached the local area more often, but without meaning. Leipzig showed significant dynamism and pace in attack. Maco Rose’s painting conveys a palpable attack, constant danger. But also a noticeable defensive fragility. That prevented him from winning at Bremen; Werder saw this and had a chance to win in the final period.
The visiting team was closer to victory, also met the success of goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, especially improved in the last minutes when Leipzig accelerated to get a goal that did not come.
Leipzig went into the winter break with a draw after three straight wins, although they remain third, just behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and second-placed Bayern Munich, who could distance themselves from Rose’s team if they keep their promises for the session.
Castello Lukeba’s shot against the post in the first minute was a statement of purpose. They then dominated but had no clear chances until half time when the formalities were over and each looked for a rival goal.
Lois Openda is Leipzig’s biggest danger. The Belgian managed to open the account after half an hour but Zetterer stopped him but Werder Bremen responded with three chances. Ole Werner’s team was unleashed in attack and there were chances for Marvin Ducksch and, above all, a clear one for Jens Stage. Poulsen scored shortly before half-time when he collected the rebound of a shot against Amadou Haidara’s post but it was disallowed for offside.
The visitors’ advantage came at the start of the second half with a quick move that ended with a good pass from Emil Forsberg to Openda who faced the goal alone. Twice Zetterer avoided the goal but on the third occasion, and at the short post, the Belgian scored.
Werder Bremen reacted, making three substitutions at once to avoid defeat. Marvin Ducksch shot the post and then Openda was able to kill in a one-on-one battle that was solved by the local goalkeeper. This was Leipzig’s big chance as victory eluded them in the next action.
With a quarter of an hour remaining, Werder Bremen managed the game with sense. Marvin Ducks fed the ball to Romano Schmid who found Justin Njinmah on the crescent. He took a sharp shot, on his left foot, tight, impossible for Janis Balswich. It was the tie.
Leipzig encountered haste and lack of success at the same time, missing a good chance to extend its good streak and establish itself as a contender. Now, they are two points behind Bayern Munich, who have two games in hand, and six behind Leverkusen, who have a game to play.
