Debacle for RB Leipzig: Wolfsburg shocked in the key game!

Leipzig/MSC - the women's team from RB Leipzig had surprisingly reached third place in the table for everyone before the current match day, next to VfL Wolfsburg, which was right behind. The expectations were high, but the team of coach Jonas Stephan was instructed better at the away game in Wolfsburg - it ended in a degrading debacle.

The course of the game did not initially show that it would become as clear as the end result suggests. RB Leipzig had his chances in both halves. But while the Leipziger's offensive was unable to transform these opportunities into goals, it was VfL Wolfsburg who scored the first goal in the 21st minute and thus also went 1-0 into the half -time break. "We found more difficult into the game when we wanted it. Wolfsburg did it really well against the ball, was a bit in our heads," explained coach Stephan after the game.

weak defensive and missed opportunities

After the half -time break, RB Leipzig initially seemed motivated and came into play better. Nevertheless, Alexandra Popp was able to score the second goal for VfL and expand the lead. While the Leipziger generated more opportunities than in the first round, the game ultimately fully got out of its hands. Her susceptible defensive enabled Wolfsburg to secure another three goals. "We didn't defend well at the back," added Stephan.

The new trainer made it clear that the team had to be patient. "There were two or three occasions. If we achieve the balance, it will be another game," he noted. Despite the severe defeat, Stephan continues to believe in a process of playful development at RB Leipzig. He is convinced that it is not possible to play "inspiring football" overnight and that the team is only at the beginning of a longer development process.

This defeat has a clear impact on the position of RB Leipzig in the league. While Wolfsburg is happy about the deserved victory, Leipzig now has to analyze what went wrong and how to improve their inefficient offensive and the shaky defensive in order to better cut off in the coming games. The pressure on the players and the coach will increase, since they now urgently need points so as not to lose sight of their goal.
