Fourth attempt, fourth defeat: RB Leipzig's women were too passive against Wolfsburg. A stable performance was enough for the team from Lower Saxony.

The RB Leipzig women's soccer team missed out on their first ever point against VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. The Saxons also lost their fourth game in the fourth league match with a 0:2 (0:0) draw. In front of 1,812 spectators at the training center on Cottaweg - including national coach Christian Wück - national player Jule Brand had put Wolfsburg ahead in the 35th minute, Ella Inez Peddemors provided the decision (85th).

The team of Leipzig coach Stephan Jonas Schmid initially acted with the self-confidence after two previous 4-1 victories in Bremen and against Potsdam at eye level, but Wolfsburg got more and more of the game as time went on.

So Brand's lead was fully deserved. The 22-year-old easily slotted the ball into the net after a botched Leipzig clearance. Three minutes later, Brand failed to beat Leipzig goalkeeper Elvira Herzog and missed a quick one-two.

In the second half, the visitors held on to their lead without making much of an impact against Leipzig, who were far too passive. Substitute Peddemors ended Leipzig's hopes of a point with five minutes remaining.
