Penalty for Leipzig!

Still practically nothing happens. Hectic and inaccuracies characterize what is happening, but there are no chances.
33
19:19
Not much happens anymore. Both teams are biting each other’s teeth.

19:15
Half an hour has passed. Real Sociedad now go to work boldly with aggressive pressing. The ball possession statistics are also slowly becoming the same.
27
19:13
Tedesco is angry. Aihen Muñoz rams Klostermann on the offensive flank, but is not penalized for it. The ex-Schalke is upset about it.
24

It stays with the same picture. Leipzig is the better team, but currently has fewer chances than at the beginning.

19:07
At the moment, La Real is doing a little better to contain the high pressure from the away team. Nevertheless, a lead for RB would have long been deserved.

Olmo levers a free kick from the right near the baseline to the far post. Orban is good, but remains only second winner with his direct acceptance from eight meters against Ryan.

19:02
Rafinha tactically gets Olmo off his feet in his own half. However, he does not get a yellow card.

The Germans are really steaming up. Silva lays down in front of the penalty area for Nkunku, whose shot is blocked from 17 meters.

18:56
The next great opportunity for Leipzig! Kampl steals the ball from Elustondo in the opponent’s sixteen yard box when he receives the ball. Free in front of Ryan, the midfielder fails in a one-on-one at the goalkeeper.

Otherwise, the Iberians generate a lot of possession. They have such a right means to do nothing against the guest defense.

Good start from the Tedesco team, who go about their work aggressively here. Klostermann’s opportunity could well have meant 0:1.

Big chance for RB! In the case of a quick counterattack, Laimer puts it in the center from the left. In the middle, Klostermann closes off flat and free-standing from 16 meters. Because he doesn’t get enough pressure behind it, Ryan can safely parry.

The Spaniards picked up anything but self-confidence at the weekend. In the duel with table neighbors Athletic Bilbao there was a pack (0:4) – so they slipped down to seventh place in the ranking, far away from the European places. Although they are only one point behind sixth-placed Villareal in one less played game, that is still not enough for their own claims. The meager goal tally is particularly worrying: together with FC Getafe (both 24) they score fourth from bottom in La Liga in this statistic. Maybe a reason for optimism for the Red Bulls?
18:20
The first leg a week ago ended in a draw (2:2) – the Saxons had to be both angry and happy about the result. On the one hand, they were clearly the more active team and could have rewarded themselves earlier. On the other hand, they were behind until the 82nd minute and then equalized with a penalty. After all, before today’s clash, they were able to regain a lot of self-confidence in the Bundesliga. At the troubled Hertha from Berlin there was a clear success (6: 1).

Hello and welcome to the Europa League Playoffs! After the draw in the first leg, RB Leipzig must win at Real Sociedad today to progress. Kick-off for this endeavor is at 6:45 p.m.
