First they sulk, then they blast!
After beating Cologne 3-1, Leipzig is in a Champions League spot for the first time this season, at least until Saturday. Victory in the duel for Europe – it didn’t always look like harmony on the pitch!
24. Minute: Hübers fouls Olmo 18 meters from goal. Suddenly, Olmo and Nkunku are bickering over who gets to take the free kick. Henrichs comes along and arbitrates between the brawlers. Finally, insulted, Olmo presses the ball on the German’s chest and takes off.
The right decision! Nkunku flicks the ball beautifully and unstoppably into the left corner – the fantastic 1-0 for Leipzig (25th). The wonderful goal also reconciles Olmo, the Spaniard celebrates with his teammates.
Leipzig bitches and conjures!
Even after that, it continues with dream goals. First Olmo hammers in a 20 meter low shot (54th), at the latest now he’s beaming all over his face. Then Angelino completes a brilliant counterattack (57′). Cologne’s connection to 3: 1 by Lamperle (90th) was worth seeing, but is of no use.
Party with 15,000 fans near Leipzig – Cologne, on the other hand, doesn’t celebrate any festival without Modeste.
FC’s top striker (14 goals this season, six goals in the last six games) had a positive corona test on Thursday and has to watch at home. Almost nothing works without Modeste.
Köln conceded their first away defeat after five games (two wins, three draws). And that despite the fact that coach Steffen Baumgart (50) is back on the sidelines after his corona illness, coaching there in a wet and cold three degrees with a T-shirt (!).
Leipzig caught FC ice cold!
Unbelievable: RB scores three goals with his first three shots on goal. Under Domenico Tedesco (36), Leipzig are continuing their race to catch up in the Bundesliga. The coach has won five of eight league games.
This is how Leipzig bitches and conjures up from eleventh place when taking office in the direction of the Champions League!
