Against a direct rival to finish the season in the top four, Leipzig added a crucial victory against Eintracht Frankfurt (2-1) where they gained momentum to equal their rival on points in third place and where they placed themselves six behind the leader, Bayern Munich.
Round day for the boys led by Marko Rose. They took advantage of Bayern Munich’s defeat (2-1 against Mainz) and added their second straight win after a disparate series of results (three defeats and a draw) that weakened their chances of fighting for the title.
The clash against Eintracht was marked on Leipzig’s calendar to confirm their recovery and did not disappoint the public attending the Red Bull Arena who needed more excitement. The rival is one of the complex and they pass the test by the skin of their teeth.
Leipzig took an early lead, in the 19th minute, thanks to a goal by Benjamin Sesko, who did not waste the rebound from Christoph Baumgartner’s shot to beat goalkeeper Kevin Trapp with a precise header.
Eintracht reacted and took control of the match until the end of the first half, where they got their reward with the equalizing goal, the work of Nathaniel Brown. However, the draw was short-lived as minutes after the restart Lois Openda closed the account for Leipzig with her tenth goal of the season, helping her side overtake Eintracht in the table and dream of a title that still seems very much in reach . far away
