RB Leipzig's women are clearly subject to Wolfsburg: 0: 5 defeat shocked fans!

For the women's team from RB Leipzig, the game against VfL Wolfsburg was another setback in the Bundesliga. On Friday evening, the players under coach Jonas Stephan received a violent 0: 5 defeat. The game took place in the AOK arena, where they did their best, but could not survive against the class of the DFB Cup winner.

The Leipzigers had put a promising start to the season, but were now unable to build on the first successes. After three wins from the first four games, the second defeat is now available, again against a top team. Initially, the guests held well defensively and provided stability in the field. But towards the end of the first half the sheet turned.

key events of the encounter

In front of 3026 spectators in Wolfsburg, the first half was relatively balanced. But in the 21st minute the Leipzig defense suffered a bitter setback when the outstanding Lynn Wilms let go of a shot from the center of the penalty area, which hit the crossbar with full force and finally led to the 1-0 lead for Wolfsburg.

After the second half kicked off, Wolfsburg's dominance increased significantly. Alexandra Popp, who had performed great achievements for the national team in her last game, shone again and prepared the second goal by Sveindis Jonsdottir in the 65th minute. Leipzig simply did not find a suitable means to stop the overwhelming offensive of the Wolfsburg women.

The substitutes of Lineth Beerensteyn (76./90.) And Rebecka Blomqvist (84.) finally completed the result with additional hits and underpinned the clear superiority of the hosts. For the RB Leipzig team, the encounter quickly became a bitter reality, which revealed the naivety and lack of experience in crucial phases of the game.

outlook for the next game

coach Jonas Stephan expressed himself optimistic after the game, despite the clear defeat: "In the course of the game, we have lost the energy, the force that VfL Wolfsburg has to defend away. Then it becomes bitter and we also did a bit naive. But we will judge the crown next week."

For the Leipzig women, this means to recover as quickly as possible and show the next key game on October 13, where they will meet the promoted Jena in the East derby. The positive aspects of the previous season should be maintained, while the challenges have to be taken seriously.

The fans and supporters hope that the team will learn from the current situation and will return in the coming games. You can find the full report on this game in an article on www.bild.de .
