The crisis facing Carl Zeiss Jena’s footballers in the women’s Bundesliga is getting worse: At RB Leipzig, coach Florian Kästner’s team deservedly lost 0-2 (0-1) on Thursday evening and remained without a win for the fifth game in a row.

At the training center on Cottaweg, the hosts set the course for three points early on.

Emilia Asgeirsdottir took the lead after a corner (20′). RB dominated the game at will and increased the lead to 2-0 with a penalty kick from Annabel Schasching (76th).

With two points from nine games, Jena is in 13th place, the gap to the first non-relegation place is four points. Leipzig, on the other hand, climbed into the middle of the table in eighth place with 13 points.
