memories of Klopp

The encounter also had a special grade: it was the first competitive game of Leipzig after Jürgen Klopp's commitment as a new head coach, who had previously celebrated great success here in Mainz. The fans of Mainz took this as an opportunity to hold up bizarre posters, including sayings such as "Klopp: I like people until they disappoint me" and "Are you crazy?"

Leipzig competed in an unusual 3-against-4 system, which may have led to the confusion of the opponents. The Mainz, on the other hand, had to do without Andreas Hanche-Olsen at short notice, who suffered a break of the little toe and the team will be missing for several weeks. Despite this challenge, the Mainz showed a decent performance in the initial phase and disturbed the game structure of Leipzig, but did not manage to radiate real goal risk.

The Saxons, on the other hand, proved their cold -ceiling in front of the gate. With their first chance, they took the lead: Simons prevailed in a strong individual campaign and shot, with the Mainz keeper Robin Zentner acted unhappily and let the ball through his legs. This situation was not even the only weakness of hundredweight, who also looked good at the second goal of Orban, who after a failed attempt to defend Zentner's ball into the empty goal.

After the half -time break, Mainz tried to find the connection, but her efforts often remained harmless. Anthony Caci had the biggest opportunity for the Rheinhessen in the 67th minute, whose shot was parried by Leipzig's goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi. On the other hand, Benjamin Sesko had two options, which he was also unable to use, since Zentner was now in a better form and defended both shots.

At the end of the day, football, however often, was characterized by unpredictable twists. Leipzig was efficient and takes both the three points and the space at the top, while Mainz continues to look for solutions to celebrate the first home win.
