The Saxons won 1-0 on Thursday evening (04/28/2022). Scored the goal of the day Angelino with a volley from the second row after a corner (85th). Leipzig’s chances of reaching the final remain high after the narrow home win, even that doubles from Europe league and DFBCup, where Leipzig in Berlin on the SC Freiburg scores is a realistic goal. It would be the first title in the club’s young history.
“After a tough first half, we had a really good second half”said Leipzig coach Domenico Tedesco after the game, “You don’t get many chances against opponents like that. We can only learn from this game.” His Glasgow colleague Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: “We didn’t concede many chances here. But when you concede a goal just before the end, it’s always disappointing”and added belligerently: “We know what we have to do next week. It will be a different game there.”
No chance to score in the first half
Especially in the first 45 minutes, the Saxons managed to approach the goal, but not a single shot on goal. The Scottish guests played very defensively away from home and didn’t create any significant chances before the break either.
