Bundesliga - RB Leipzig one step closer to knockout after 3-2 win over Real Madrid
2022-10-26 11:11RB Leipzig took a big step towards the knockout stages of the Champions League with a 3-2 home win over Real Madrid on Tuesday .
Germany are second in Group F with nine points , one behind leaders Real Madrid and three ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk , who face them in their final group game next week, where they need a draw to ensure They get the top two spots.
With Real Madrid already advanced to the last 16 , coach Carlo Ancelotti rested several regular starters and his side was dominated by a young Leipzig early on.
magical moment
The visitors cut the deficit in half at half-time thanks to a magical moment from Vinicius Jr. Marco Asensio rushed to the touchline to deliver a cross to the Brazilian, who deftly channeled a sublime header past Janis Blasvic.
That inspired Ancelotti's side as they put pressure on after the restart. But they were always vulnerable to counter-attacks, and Leipzig all but sunk the game when substitute Werner's shot went painfully off the far post.
The usually ruthless little Vinicius passed up a close-range shot before Werner finally ended the game, slamming the ball into the net after a precise pass from Mohamed Simakan. Rodrigo's final penalty was just a consolation result.
