Post-trophy success, RB suffers another setback in the league.
In a surprising turn of events, RB Leipzig found themselves on the losing end of a 0-2 match against FSV Mainz 05. The defeat, which occurred in the final stages of the game, has left Leipzig at risk of losing touch with the top group in the Bundesliga.
The game was marked by a controversial moment when two balls briefly appeared on the pitch. Despite Leipzig's dominance throughout the match, they were unable to convert their opportunities into goals. Xavi Simons and Christoph Baumgartner had shots for Leipzig in the 28th and 20th minutes respectively, but to no avail.
Mainz, on the other hand, continued to defend strongly throughout the game. Karim Onisiwo scored the first goal for Mainz, taking a shock lead. Barreiro later added a second goal, securing Mainz's victory and Barreiro's goal was confirmed after video review.
Dominik Kohr had a big chance for Leipzig, but the opportunity was not taken. Mainz also had a warning shot after the break, but it was saved by Janis Blaswich. Timo Werner was not on the bench for Leipzig during the game, as they were still reeling from their elimination from the DFB-Pokal earlier in the week.
Jan Siewert secured his first Bundesliga win as coach of FSV Mainz 05, a significant achievement for the team. As of the latest available information, RB Leipzig's current Bundesliga standings after their loss to FSV Mainz 05 are not explicitly detailed.
