Despite falling behind: RB Leipzig prevents Turbine from winning

The RB Leipzig women's footballers have inflicted another setback on Turbine Potsdam in the Bundesliga. The team of coach Stephan Jonas turned the game around against the bottom team and won 4:1 (0:1). Mia Schmid (17) surprisingly put the Brandenburgers ahead, but even that was not enough for their first win of the season. Leipzig, on the other hand, secured fifth place in the table.

In front of 692 fans at the training center on Cottaweg, the Turbines took a while to get into the game. However, the first good chance to score came in the 16th minute from a corner. A few seconds later, the opening goal followed: Schmid played the ball into the goal area far from the sixteen, where RB goalkeeper Elvira Herzog was far too far in front of her box.

Turbine with many chances

After that, Potsdam became more agile in attack and created further promising chances despite Leipzig's high pressing. Meanwhile, RB had problems exploiting the gaps in their opponents' defense effectively. Turbine's goalkeeper Vanessa Fischer was able to defuse the few situations in front of goal.

In the second half, however, the visitors failed to extend their lead. That took its revenge within a few minutes. First, Leipzig's Emilia Asgeirsdottir (56') scored unchallenged from the penalty area, then Giovanna Hoffmann (60') took advantage of a penalty. From then on, the Brandenburgers hardly got a move on, with Hoffmann (81st) and Vanessa Fudalla (90.+3) again increasing Leipzig's lead.
